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

2026 rotation (OL2) — some opportunity; significant upside (+4.0) · Mountain West draft-temper.

Floor · 1.6

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.4.
