Scouting Verdict

Projected 2026 starter and a proven producer (Illinois transfer) — 39 rec, 512 yds, 6 TD (2023). Grade benchmarked to a Big 12 draft-outcome projection; the band carries his 2027 upside.

Projected 2026 starter (TE1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.2) · Big 12 draft-temper · TE lower-value.

Floor · 5.2

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.3.
