Scouting Verdict

Illinois' proven starting quarterback and an ECU transfer with real production (3,300 yds, 19 TD/6 INT in 2025). A steady, mobile Big Ten starter, but not yet on the 2027 draft radar — the national read is 'draft interest with a big year,' so the grade sits in the Day-3/fringe range pending a strong 2026.

Ceiling · 6.5

Projected 2026 starter (QB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.7) · up-year team · QB premium.

Floor · 5.5

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.3.
