SCOUTING NOTEBOOK
The read right now
His usage spans rushing and receiving. The Ohio State workload is more informative than treating all touches as equivalent opportunities.
The production
NC State 2025: 160 carries for 939 yards and six touchdowns, plus 37 catches for 189 yards and a score; 11 starts. Texas labels the section Junior but calls him a sophomore in its text; this class discrepancy is retained.
Latest game
The cited profile provides the dated observations above; a complete current-season statistical line is not yet verified.
NEXT CHECK
Watch passing-down involvement and efficiency at higher carry volume.
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.
