Selected by Houston Texans in round 7, pick 50 (261 overall)
Height Weight 40 Grade
6'3 310 5.09 3.28
Junior-college transfer that has started the past three seasons. Totaled 22/4/2 as a senior, after 38/6/1 the prior year. Looked like a blossoming prospect as a redshirt sophomore when he totaled 36/3/2.

Big, powerful defender that is a load in the middle of the line. Plays with a strong base, holds his ground against blocks and defeats double teams. Gets a lot of push up the field, drives opponents off the ball and displays the ability to manhandle one-on-one blocking. Stuffs the run, displays a burst of closing speed and some lateral range. Not quick or explosive off the snap, nor is he light on his feet. Ineffective with his hands and all too often gets locked up with opponents or makes himself an easy target. Does not always look like he's going full speed nor does he dominate the way he is capable. Seemed to haphazardly rely on his natural ability as a senior and never took his game to the next level though he had the opportunity. Must apply himself or the end result will be a quick exit from camp next August if he does not kick it into gear. Free Agent.
