Scouting Verdict

Senior tight end, multi-stop FCS transfer (Houston Christian/UT Martin, OVR1782) with steady but low-level production (16/142/2 then 18/124/1). FCS production is heavily discounted; depth/rotational tight end.

Ceiling · 4.0

Career reserve (Reserve) — limited opportunity caps the ceiling; close to ceiling (+0.1) · TE lower-value.

Floor · 3.5

Some college production — moderate floor; downside −0.4.
