Three-year starter awarded All-Conference honors after his junior and senior campaigns. Totals last season were 52/10/4 after 39/9.5/7 the prior year.

Pos:

Explosive interior lineman who consistently gets penetration behind the line of scrimmage. Gets off the snap with a terrific first step, plays with leverage and good pad level. Tenacious, keeps his feet moving up the field and goes very hard. Shows the ability to alter his angle of attack and rarely is off his feet. Fires through the gaps upfield, forceful and flashes power, bull-rushing opponents off the line. Closes to the action with a burst of speed.

Neg:

Marginal hand technique and does not do a good job protecting himself. Handled at the point or turned from the action by larger opponents.
