Scouting Report

August 6, 2026

Yaseen DeReese #23

Akron · TE · Fr · 2029 Draft · Titusville, Fla. · Daytona Elite Academy

6-3 · 225 lbs

1.8

Deep Project

Floor 0.6 · Ceiling 4.4

#15467 overall · #998 TE of 15492

Scouting Verdict

Unproven true freshman TE; 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) · MAC draft-temper · TE lower-value.

Floor · 0.6

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.6.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.
