Scouting Notes

Eye-catching FCS production - 1,034 rushing yards at 7.2 per carry with 6 TD at Drake in 2025 - but it came at the Pioneer League (non-scholarship FCS) level, the lowest tier of college football, against weak competition, and he is only a projected RB3 at JMU. The efficiency is real but the competition discount is severe and there is no draft buzz; priority-UDFA-at-best with everything to prove vs. FBS.
