Long Shot

Floor 1.8 · Ceiling 7.0

#6401 overall · #491 RB of 15102

Scouting Verdict

Redshirt-freshman back; developmental depth with a recruiting-appropriate ceiling.

Ceiling · 7.0

Buried for now (Reserve) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+3.7) · RB devalued (ceiling capped).

Floor · 1.8

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.5.
