Scouting Report

August 6, 2026

Jaidaun Cranford #20

Northern Illinois · RB · Fr · 2029 Draft · Metamora, Ill. · Metamora

5-9 · 185 lbs

2.2

Raw Prospect

Floor 0.7 · Ceiling 4.4

#14384 overall · #947 RB of 15310

Scouting Verdict

Unproven true freshman RB; grade reflects no meaningful college snaps yet, upside carried in the ceiling.

Ceiling · 4.4

Buried for now (Reserve) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+2.2) · Mountain West draft-temper · RB devalued (ceiling capped).

Floor · 0.7

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.5.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.
