Scouting Verdict

Proven four-year starting placekicker (22/24 FG in his best year; reliable since). The most dependable specialist on the roster — capped by position value but a genuine weapon and the clear K1.

Projected 2026 starter (K1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.1) · ACC draft-temper · specialist (low draft value).

Floor · 4.6

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.2.
