SCOUTING NOTEBOOK
The read right now
The Oklahoma disruption is a concrete reason to investigate. One game does not establish a season-level pass-rush grade.
The production
Utah 2025: started all 11 games and recorded 48 tackles, 17.5 tackles for loss, 11.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and a pass breakup while earning All-America recognition.
Latest game
The cited profile provides the dated observations above; a complete current-season statistical line is not yet verified.
NEXT CHECK
Compare the next pressure and run-defense sample with the Oklahoma performance.
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.
