Junior-college transfer that broke out as a senior when he led the team in rushing totaling 188/1,041/5.5/11, catching four passes and averaging 15/21.3/0 returning kicks. Missed all of 2000 after tearing a knee ligament prior to the season's start after rushing for 80/512/6.4/4 and catching six passes in '99 when he backed up JR Redmond.

Athletic runner with adequate speed. Decent footwork in a small area, keeps his feet driving forward and cuts it back against the grain to avoid defenders. Works his runs, gives effort between the tackles and puts his shoulders into the opponent on his way down. Displays a burst through the hole and some open field speed. Blocks in pass protection but has difficulty sustaining his blocks and does not break tackles carrying the ball. Lacks the top vision, run instincts and not quick finding the running lanes. More of a straight-line runner that lacks elusiveness and avoidability. Lack of production as a receiver out of the backfield gives him minimal possibilities as a third down specialist. Free Agent.
