Scouting Verdict

Blue-chip true-Fr RB (4★ #252, #18 RB). No college tape yet; high recruiting ceiling, RB-devalued range, developmental current.

Ceiling · 8.2

Buried for now (RB3) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+4.4) · ACC draft-temper · RB devalued (ceiling capped).

Floor · 2.3

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.5.
