Scouting Verdict

Jake Balis — sophomore RB; profiles as a depth/development piece for Vanderbilt. Graded on the SEC scale with upside reflected in the ceiling.

Ceiling · 4.4

Buried for now (Reserve) but young + talented — could win a role; real room to grow (+1.6) · RB devalued (ceiling capped).

Floor · 1.6

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.2.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.
