SCOUTING NOTEBOOK
The read right now
This is a production-led profile rather than a recruiting-led one. Conference and supporting-cast translation are the key unresolved tests.
The production
In 2025 he led FBS with 4,379 passing yards and 9.46 yards per attempt; Oklahoma State’s bio records 34 touchdowns and 68.9% completions.
Latest game
Against Murray State: 20/22 passing for 324 yards and five touchdowns, with a lost fumble. This is an FCS-opponent performance, not a new season-level grade.
NEXT CHECK
Compare decision-making against stronger opponents; preserve the fumble alongside the efficient passing line.
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 · 3 autograph appearances · 9 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.
eBay searches can return the wrong parallel or player, so check the photos and card number before buying. Pigskin Portfolio may earn a commission from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you.
