Scouting Verdict

High-pedigree former top-40 recruit with rare measurables, but a lost 2025 (injury) and almost no college production temper the grade despite real ceiling.

Ceiling · 6.3

Projected 2026 starter (WR1) — real opportunity to climb; real room to grow (+1.1) · up-year team · ACC draft-temper · WR premium.

Floor · 3.9

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −1.3.
