Scouting Verdict

Army (service-academy) transfer with a 2-star profile and no available production, projected into the two-deep. Developmental depth/rotation projection; no draft framing. No-shot tier.

Ceiling · 5.6

2026 rotation (OL2) — some opportunity; significant upside (+2.6) · up-year team · Sun Belt draft-temper.

Floor · 1.6

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.4.
