True freshman QB and genuine mid-three-star recruit (247 composite ~0.84; On3 #1842 national, QB #106-123) with 13 D1 offers (Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Cincinnati, WVU plus G5/MAC) and record-setting HS production at Carmel, but zero college snaps and a non-blue-chip pedigree behind incumbents on the BC depth chart. Lands in the developmental/below-average band: athletic, productive prep dual-threat with upside but unproven at the Power-4 level.
