2026 season & career
The read right now
A full starting season supplies opportunity evidence, but 58.9% completions shows why volume alone is insufficient.
2025: 199/338 passing for 2,153 yards and nine touchdowns; 206 rushing yards and four rushing scores.
Against Indiana State: 23/29 passing for 317 yards and three touchdowns. This is an opening-game observation, not current cumulative production.
Obtain the subsequent games before assessing sustained improvement.
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.
