SCOUTING NOTEBOOK
The read right now
A cross-level transfer requires an explicit prior-production baseline and current opportunity check before grading.
The production
Penn 2024: 1,192 rushing yards on 191 carries, nine touchdowns and 10 starts; unanimous first-team All-Ivy. This is a prior-school baseline, not a Georgia Tech result.
Latest game
The cited profile provides the dated observations above; a complete current-season statistical line is not yet verified.
NEXT CHECK
Verify Penn production and Georgia Tech carry share.
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.
