Former walk-on that started the past four seasons. Rushing totals were 35/156/5.4/5 last year when he caught 25/256/10.2/3. All-Academic award winner as a senior. Junior rushing totals were 40/210/5.2/6 with only three receptions.

Undersized fullback best when the ball is in his hands. Displays both speed and quickness blocking or running the ball, strong in his lower body and breaks down well. Can shuffle and slide his feet in pass protection, moves well laterally and effectively redirects to the defender. Became a receiving threat last season and caught the ball nicely out of the backfield. Tends to slow into his blocks and gather himself, does too much chop blocking rather than taking opponents on squarely and displays only minimal strength at the point of attack. Effective when he gives effort blocking but that is only a fraction of the time. May not have a true position at the next level; not big enough to be a fullback and lacks the pure run instincts to be a feature back. Free Agent.
