a shifty, underrated playmaker with receiver traits and RB versatility
Ponder is best known for his quickness, explosiveness, and toughness, with scouting notes describing him as a shifty athlete who consistently found separation and created after the catch at Vanguard High School. He entered college as a lightly built, under-the-radar prospect who was rated a three-star by 247Sports and On3, and a two-star by Rivals, which suggests he may still be more of a development bet than a finished product. If your team wants a competitive, versatile skill player with upside and some special-teams or slot-like flexibility, he’s a worthwhile name to track.
