Scouting Verdict

High pedigree (4-star, No. 209) former Purdue/Maryland TE whose production has lagged (13 career catches) despite an NFL frame (6-4/245). The recruiting profile and tools keep a developmental projection alive, but the lack of output across multiple stops is a concern. Traits-over-production grade.
