Scouting Verdict

Blue-chip (4★, No. 134 overall) unproven true freshman DB; no college production on record yet, so the current grade is youth-appropriate — the upside is carried in the ceiling.

Ceiling · 8.2

2026 rotation (DB2) — some opportunity; significant upside (+4.2) · up-year team.

Floor · 2.2

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.8.
