Scouting Verdict

3★ unproven true freshman TE; 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 (TE2) — some opportunity; significant upside (+3.9) · Pac-12 draft-temper · TE lower-value.

Floor · 1.6

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.5.
