Floor 2.4 · Ceiling 7.0

Scouting Verdict

3★ unproven redshirt sophomore OL; no college production on record yet, so the current grade is youth-appropriate — the upside is carried in the ceiling.

Ceiling · 7.0

Projected 2026 starter (OL1) — real opportunity to climb; significant upside (+3.9) · Mountain West draft-temper.

Floor · 2.4

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.7.
