SCOUTING NOTEBOOK
The read right now
The receiving sample gives useful context beyond a power-back label. The important change is a documented starting opportunity, not the two-touchdown result alone.
The production
In 2025 he had 284 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 75 carries, plus 28 catches for 203 yards.
Latest game
Earned a starting role in 2026; against East Carolina he carried nine times for 47 yards and two touchdowns, adding two catches.
NEXT CHECK
Watch whether the starting role produces sustainable efficiency and receiving work.
BOWMAN CHECKLIST
His 2026 Bowman cards
Paper and Chrome are separate prospect entries. Prospect autographs add a verified signature checklist appearance; inserts and variations are separate collecting paths. This is a format hierarchy, not a price or scarcity ranking.
Topps describes parallels, but a complete first-party football odds/serial-number matrix was not available in this audit. No baseball parallel structure is imported. Serial numbering is not an estimate of total print run.
2 base appearances · 2 autograph appearances · 0 insert / variation appearances. Counts describe checklist rows, not distinct print runs.
These are the official checklist appearances we have mapped. We only show serial numbering when we can source it.
