Height Weight 40 Grade
6'2 225 4.89 3.21
Former Louisiana Tech quarterback that backed-up Tim Rattay before transferring to SFA in '99. Threw for 59.2%/2,626/19/8 as a senior, his most productive season to date. Junior and sophomore totals were 50%/1,592/13/11 and 47.8%/1,840/17/8, respectively.

Intelligent signal caller with nice size for a pocket passer. Solid footwork setting up to throw, sells his play-action passes and sees the field. Hard-working and competitive but lacks quickness in all aspects of his game, gets shaky when pressured and not a patient signal caller. Does not sense pressure or show the ability to make plays with his legs. Stares down his primary target and seemingly predetermines where he is going throwing the ball regardless of the circumstances. Limited arm strength and though his accuracy has improved, it is still less then adequate. Free Agent.
