Scouting Verdict

Charlotte transfer who flashed late in 2025 (260 yds, 16 catches) as a pass-catching back; depth piece with a defined role.

Ceiling · 7.0

Buried for now (Reserve) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+3.5) · RB devalued (ceiling capped).

Floor · 2.6

Some college production — moderate floor; downside −0.9.
