Scouting Verdict

Josh Phifer is a James Madison transfer TE projected to start (TE1) for UCLA, though his receiving production is light (4 catches, 40 yards, TD in 2025). The projected starting role and FBS experience earn a low UDFA current; the minimal pass-game production and devalued position keep it measured. Likely a blocking-first starter.
