Scouting Verdict

Elite 5-star pedigree (No. 31-62 overall, top-4 WR, school's highest-rated signee in 25 years, 52 offers) gives a true blue-chip ceiling, tempered heavily for a spring-2026 torn Achilles (late Oct/Nov return) and zero college tape; respect the ceiling, unproven.

Ceiling · 8.2

Projected 2026 starter (WR-X1) — real opportunity to climb; significant upside (+3.2) · up-year team · ACC draft-temper · WR premium.

Floor · 2.5

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate · returning-starter role secures it; downside −2.5.
