Verified 6-foot-1, 181 pounds in February 2026. He’s now listed at 6-foot-2, 194, which is reasonable and checks out on his latest film. Ideally, he'd be a couple of inches taller, but he has a good-looking frame that will carry weight easily, and he'll look the part from a density standpoint as he fills out. This is one of the rare cases where added mass is pure upside rather than a tradeoff. His game doesn't depend on twitch, so getting bigger and stronger should help his arm and durability without costing him anything. He's also a varsity baseball and basketball…

Film Review Notes
Able to watch the latest HUDL games available for his junior season. Very decisive and quick processor. Gets the ball up and out quickly and effectively. Good ball placement and can fit the football into tight windows. Does a good job throwing with anticipation to the sideline and over the middle of the field. Able to throw with touch and can layer the football effectively. Does a good job of creating and improvising outside of structure. Can make defenders miss in the open field but not ultra twitchy or dynamic as a runner. More of an occasional chain mover and escape artist than a true weapon with his legs. Needs to continue getting bigger and stronger. Arm strength is average; he needs to continue improving his velocity and ability to push the ball vertically. Very high-floor prospect whose ceiling will be determined by his physical and athletic development.
