Zeke Bates #26

Minnesota · RB · Fr · 2030 Draft · Haverford, Pa. · Malvern Prep

5-11 · 215 lbs

3.3

Long Shot

Floor 1.8 · Ceiling 7.0

#6398 overall · #490 RB of 15096

Scouting Verdict

3-star true freshman RB (n1111/p68) with no college snaps; recruiting profile only.

Ceiling · 7.0

Buried for now (Reserve) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+3.7) · RB devalued (ceiling capped).

Floor · 1.8

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.5.
