Big-bodied Missouri TE with blue-chip pedigree and developmental upside
Scales is a 6'4", 230-pound Missouri tight end whose value starts with size, in-state familiarity, and a recruiting profile that had him ranked among the nation’s better tight ends coming out of high school; ESPN lists him with 1 career catch for 1 yard, so the current production is modest, but the appeal is the frame and developmental fit rather than immediate box-score impact. He profiles as a player for teams that want a projectable TE who can grow into his body and role, with early-career usage suggesting more upside than volume right now.[2][4][5][6]
