Scouting Verdict

Ex-Penn State 4-star projected WR2 but just 8 career catches; graded on the empty production, not the elite recruiting rank.

Ceiling · 5.1

2026 rotation (WR2) — some opportunity; close to ceiling (+0.4) · Sun Belt draft-temper · WR premium.

Floor · 3.8

Some college production — moderate floor; downside −0.9.
