#1724 overall · #156 RB of 15102

Scouting Verdict

Projected RB1; productive 2025 at Delaware State (958 yds, 9 TD) after a UL Monroe stint. Real lead-back production, though 2025 came at FCS level.

Ceiling · 5.1

Projected 2026 starter (RB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.1) · Conference USA draft-temper · RB devalued (ceiling capped).

Floor · 4.7

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.3.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.

Path: UL Monroe → Delaware State → New Mexico State
