Scouting Verdict

Former 5-star (n30) sophomore who produced as a true freshman — 40 catches, 512 yards in 10 games — and is projected as WR3. Rare combination of elite pedigree AND real freshman production; the current grade reflects the solid-not-spectacular output while the ceiling is among the highest on the roster. A clear ascending name.

Ceiling · 8.9

Buried for now (WR3) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+3.3) · WR premium.

Floor · 4.3

Some college production — moderate floor; downside −1.3.
