Former walk-on that led the Miner's in rushing the past two seasons, the only time he's seen action on the field. Senior totals were 79/454/5.7/4 after 142/681/4.8/5 as a junior.

Nice-sized feature runner that could ultimately grow into a lead fullback. Runs with forward lean, displays quickness for his size and picks up a lot of yardage off initial contact. Sees the field, follows blocks and shows some ability to slash or slide off tackles. Uses an effective straight arm and deceptively fast with the ability to get outside around tackle. Squares into the opponent as a blocker, displays strength at the point of attack and the ability to get out in front of the ballcarrier and create space. Plays faster when the ball is in his hands then when he is blocking and tends to slow into his blocks which hurts his ability to finish off defenders. Nicked up as a senior and was not able to capitalize on a solid junior campaign. Rarely mentioned amongst scouting circles but could surprise next year if given the opportunity in a camp. Free Agent.
