Scouting Verdict

Consensus five-star and a top-10 national recruit (OT2) with rare 6-8/330 dimensions, the crown jewel of Miami's class. True-freshman with no reps yet, but the trait/pedigree ceiling at left tackle is as high as anyone's on the roster; a future high-round projection.

Ceiling · 8.9

Projected 2026 starter (OL1) — real opportunity to climb; significant upside (+3.4) · up-year team.

Floor · 4.0

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate · returning-starter role secures it; downside −1.5.
