Scouting Notes

The SEC's Freshman of the Year and the most bankable thing in Tennessee's passing game: 68 catches for 837 yards and six scores across all 13 games as a redshirt freshman, living in the short-to-intermediate zones after a three-catch debut season. Sixty-eight receptions in this league at that age is a real signal — the volume was earned weekly, not gifted by scheme. However, the shape of the production tempers the excitement: 12.3 per catch from the slot, zero designed run touches, and a 6-0, 190 frame that reads flanker rather than X. The 2027-class services already slot him top-10 at the position with Day 2 language, which feels a full year early on one season of possession-heavy work. Fringe-draftable grade today with one of the highest ceilings on this roster — a second season that adds a vertical element to the volume rewrites the entire projection.
