Scouting Verdict

Penn State transfer (4★ #105, OVR-56 portal) and the projected QB1 of the Franklin/Howle offense he followed from State College. 1,339 yds/8 TD in spot-starter duty in 2025 — real P4 reps, ascending but not yet a finished product. Young (R-So) with the keys; the floor is league-average, the upside is the offense's whole season.

Ceiling · 8.2

Projected 2026 starter (QB1) — real opportunity to climb; significant upside (+2.6) · ACC draft-temper · QB premium.

Floor · 4.5

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −1.1.
