Scouting Report

Jameel Gardner Jr. #18

Michigan State · WR · R-Sr · 2027 Draft · Detroit, Mich. · Cass Tech

6-0 · 193 lbs

UDFA

Floor 4.2 · Ceiling 5.8

#2058 overall · #305 WR of 15136

Scouting Verdict

Productive returning WR (via Jackson State) — 32 rec, 445 yds, 2 TD (2025). Grade benchmarked to a Big Ten draft-outcome projection, not inflated.

Ceiling · 5.8

Veteran-shape correction: R-Sr grad transfer with 3 seasons of production will likely earn a rotational role — the Reserve slotting wrongly compressed his ceiling to +0.1. Widened to rotational/spot-starter upside; current held (modest G5/FCS production, unproven at P4). Machine 4.9->5.8.

Floor · 4.2

Some college production — moderate floor; downside −0.6.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.

Path: Kent State → Jackson State → Michigan State
