Catch rate says one thing, EPA says another
9 of 15 caught on third down (60.0%) — EPA/target 0.48 vs 0.09 elsewhere (4 conversions).
Catch rate is disclosed context only, never the gate — conversions and EPA/target are. Interception targets carry no attribution row at any source, so EPA/target here is unfixably, slightly inflated.

2026 outlook
In the mix for All-Pac-12
Based on 2025: #5 of 11 Mountain West TEs — his program moves to the Pac-12 for 2026
A base rate for the rank, not a forecast of this player: 35% of returning players who ranked #4–10 at their position in their conference made an all-conference team the next season (95% confidence interval 31–38%). It was measured on players who stayed in the same conference and is not adjusted for the move to the Pac-12.
The No. 1,426 recruit in the country is starting at tight end in the Mountain West as a senior.
Four or fewer games in the first season, then ten or more.
