Scouting Verdict

True-freshman 4-star OL (natl 456, OL41) with no reps; pedigree-only per unproven-youth rule.

Ceiling · 8.2

Buried for now (Reserve) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+4.2) · ACC draft-temper.

Floor · 2.0

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −2.0.
