The receipts
No recruiting service wrote a word here. The national rank was the promise; what happened next is the whole story.
“The No. 990 player in America.”
Drafted No. 25 overall, round 1 — by a program that never signed him.
“The No. 718 player in America.”
Peak grade of 0 on our 0–100 scale.
The report card
Star power and cohesion are graded against all 297 qualifying classes, 2021–2023. NFL production and on-field value are graded against just the 107 other 2023 classes — a 2023 signee simply hasn’t had as many draft-eligible years as a 2021 signee, so those two dimensions compare like-for-like instead of penalizing recency. Overall GPA still ranks across all 297.
