Scouting Verdict

Projected 2026 starter and a proven producer (UAPB transfer) — 105 pass yds, 5 TD/0 INT, 216 rush yds/5 TD (2025). Grade benchmarked to a Mountain West draft-outcome projection; the band carries his 2027 upside.

Projected 2026 starter (QB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.1) · Mountain West draft-temper · QB premium.

Floor · 3.4

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.5.
