Scouting Verdict

Makhilyn Young — explosive complementary back (414 yds, 6 TD, 14 catches in 2025) who pairs with Alexander. A change-of-pace weapon with real burst out of the backfield.

Ceiling · 5.0

2026 rotation (RB2) — some opportunity; close to ceiling (+0.3) · up-year team · RB devalued (ceiling capped).

Floor · 4.3

Some college production — moderate floor; downside −0.4.
