Scouting Verdict

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

Ceiling · 7.0

Buried for now (Reserve) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+4.2) · Mountain West draft-temper · TE lower-value.

Floor · 1.5

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.3.
