"Thirty-four touchdowns against six interceptions in his first Power Four season, and his reward was a third school in three years and a bigger paycheck."
A 6-3, 205-pound rhythm passer who threw for 3,973 yards with 34 touchdowns and six interceptions at Duke in 2025 after 2,723 yards at Tulane the year before. Elite decision-making and touch, with an arm that is good rather than special.
What he does well
- 01Decision making — six interceptions on 500 attempts in his first Power Four season is the single most translatable number in his entire file.
- 02Anticipation — he releases the ball before the receiver breaks on in-cuts and option routes, which is how he sustained 7.9 yards an attempt.
