Scouting Notes

Precision operator who ran Notre Dame's offense like a five-year veteran in his first season on the job: 2,741 yards, 24 touchdowns against six interceptions, a 66.5 completion percentage and a 168.1 rating across 12 games. The accuracy shows up on the stat line, the ball security held through a playoff-caliber schedule, and the offseason only sharpened the buzz — McShay-level evaluators anointed him MVP of the Manning Passing Academy. However, it is one year of tape, and 41 carries for 33 net yards say he offers almost nothing as a runner; everything rides on the arm and the processing, so a defense that muddies the pocket is the 2026 test worth circling. Front of the 2027 quarterback class with first-round consensus already formed. A repeat season at this efficiency makes him a top-ten conversation, and the floor sits at Day 2 even if the encore wobbles.
