Two-year starter that saw action with the first unit as a true sophomore. Second team All-Conference selection as a senior when he totaled 44/14/9. Hurt his knee three games into the 2000 season and took a red shirt season. All-Conference selection as a junior when he totaled 50/9/3 after 23/7/4.5 during the ’98 campaign.
Tremendous athlete who has yet to become a total football player. Displayed quickness off the snap previous to his knee injury, fluid changing direction and quick alerting his angle of attack. Effective playing off the line of scrimmage showing great range and easily getting to the sidelines making plays against the ballcarrier. Solid arm over move and closing burst of speed. For the most part does not keep his pads low or protect himself and is an easy target for opponents to block. Lacks football instincts, a head for the ball and to this point looks better then he plays. Nice kid and a great athlete but a mediocre football player. Mid Sixth Round.
