Scouting Report

July 30, 2026

Jaden Yates

Houston · LB · Sr · 2027 Draft · Columbus, Ohio · Gahanna Lincoln HS

6-1 · 225 lbs

4.6

UDFA

Floor 4.3 · Ceiling 4.8

#2360 overall · #293 LB of 15096

Scouting Verdict

115-tackle production reads as a rotational-starter LB, but LB is a devalued position with no draft-board or All-Big 12 presence to push it higher.

Ceiling · 4.8

Projected 2026 starter (LB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.2) · Big 12 draft-temper · LB lower-value.

Floor · 4.3

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

Pedigree

3★ recruit · Natl #1573 · Pos #134 · State #50

Path: Marshall → Ole Miss → Houston
