Scouting Report

July 30, 2026

Tariq Hayer #44

Rutgers · SAF · So · 2028 Draft · PG County, Md. · St. John's College HS

6-0 · 195 lbs

#5090 overall · #443 SAF of 15096

Scouting Verdict

Blue-chip (4★, No. 309 overall) unproven sophomore DB; no college production on record yet, so the current grade is youth-appropriate — the upside is carried in the ceiling.

Ceiling · 8.2

2026 rotation (DB2) — some opportunity; significant upside (+4.6).

Floor · 2.1

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