Scouting Verdict

3★ unproven redshirt freshman QB; no college production on record yet, so the current grade is youth-appropriate — the upside is carried in the ceiling.

Ceiling · 7.0

Buried for now (Reserve) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+3.7) · QB premium.

Floor · 1.0

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −2.3.
