Scouting Notes
Former No. 11 overall five-star with arm talent and mobility, and thin QB classes keep a faint ceiling narrative alive, but the career has cratered (4th school in 4 years, 8 TD/9 INT, 54.7% at UTEP) and he projects to sit behind Steve Angeli. Boom-or-bust pedigree play with no real draft buzz and shrinking opportunity.
