Scouting Verdict

Blue-chip (4★, No. 414 overall) unproven true freshman OL; no college production on record yet, so the current grade is youth-appropriate — the upside is carried in the ceiling.

Ceiling · 8.2

Buried for now (Reserve) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+4.6).

Floor · 1.6

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −2.0.
