Two-year starter that saw extensive action as both a sophomore and freshman. Second team All-Conference selection last season after totaling 57/4/2. Again, second team All-League selection as a junior when his numbers were 58/8/1.
Nice-sized interior player that works hard. Breaks down well, plays low to the ground with leverage and rarely off his feet. Keeps his feet moving forward, gets push up the field and holds his ground against blocks. Displays a solid spin move, can twist or stunt and makes plays laterally. Disciplined and not only rushes the passer but defends the run. Lacks body redirection, not explosive off the snap and has only a short burst of speed. Some size potential which, if met would really help his cause at the next level. Definite long term possibilities. Early Seventh Round.
