Scouting Verdict

True Fr WR, good 3-star (pos-rank 43) projected WR3; no tape yet, developmental with pedigree.

Ceiling · 7.0

Buried for now (WR3) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+3.6) · Big 12 draft-temper · WR premium.

Floor · 1.2

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −2.2.
