Selected by Seattle Seahawks in round 2, pick 28 (60 overall)
Height Weight 40 Grade
6'3 279 4.8 3.39
All-Conference selection as a senior after totaling 18/7/4.5 in only six games. Again, first team All-Conference selection his initial season with the program when he totaled 38/12/8 after transferring from junior college.

Hard-working pass rusher who forces the action up the field. Plays with leverage and forward lean, stays low throughout the action and moves well laterally. Fluid, rarely off his feet and redirects to the action well. Effective with his hands, displays a burst of closing speed and gets a lot of upfield momentum going. Not big and has difficulty taking on blocks; easily knocked off balance by initial contact, handled by opposing tight ends or moved off the line if teams run directly at him. Strictly a right defensive end who displays some ability to play in space. Free Agent.
