- ▸Limited usage share suggests a rotational or specialist role.
- ▸8 high-impact games (EPA/play > 0.4) this season — elite ceiling.
- ▸Particularly dangerous on passing downs — efficiency spikes in obvious pass situations.
- ▸Strong second-half surge — EPA/play improved 1.62 from the first to second half of the season.
- ▸Peak game: 4.32 EPA/play in Wk 9 vs Duke (SP+ 6).
