Scouting Notes

Dual-threat with a proven Power-conference resume and a nomad's route to Baton Rouge — Michigan State, then a breakout at Arizona State (2,885 yards, 24 touchdowns, six picks, 110 carries as a redshirt freshman), then an injury-shortened 2025 before following the Kiffin hire as the portal's No. 1 quarterback. When healthy, the formula travels: 36 passing touchdowns against 11 interceptions for his career, real pocket mobility, and a designed-run element defenses must account for. However, the seven-game 2025 dip is a genuine fork in the evaluation — completion percentage slid to 60.7 and the rating fell 20 points — and the industry's spread on him runs from first-round believer to sixth-round grade, the widest band on any 2027 quarterback. That variance is the story. Day 2 grade with a first-round ceiling if the health and the LSU offense cooperate; the arrow has to point back up in 2026 to earn it.
