Former track and field star that has started the past two-years. Never officially redshirted for the Iowa football team and has been with the program four seasons. Totaled 45/206/4.6/4 on the ground last year, while catching 17/226/13.4/4. Second on the team in rushing the prior season with 34/135/4/0, when he caught nine passes. Special teams player his initial two-years on the squad.

Developing prospect whose best football lays ahead of him. Smart, heady blocker that displays pop at the point of attack, quickness picking up stunts or blitzes and looks to get involved in the action. Some footwork in a small area and chop blocks well. Displays a burst of speed running between tackles and an adequate receiver out of the backfield with competent hands. Gives good effort in all aspects of his game. Does not run or block with great balance, stiff in his upper body and slows into blocks which hurts his abilities to finish opponents off. Small by fullback standards and has not touched the ball enough to prove he can be an every down runner. To his credit, consistently improved in college and has some upside potential. Early Seventh Round.
