Height Weight 40 Grade
6'2½ 248 4.88 3.24
Three-year starter that was an All-Conference selection ever since he moved into the starting lineup. Finished his senior season with 80/15/2/1/3 after 74/12/2/1/4 as a junior.

Tough, slug-it-out, run defending middle linebacker. Nice athlete that effectively quarterbacks the defense and quickly reads or anticipates the action. Immediately picks up pass cover assignments, moves well laterally displaying the ability to slide off blocks and get to the action. Physical, aggressive and works hard. Lacks overall speed, a quick first step to the ballcarrier and hesitant reacting to the action. Does not get depth on his pass drops and though he moves well laterally, he does not show the great range. Lack of outright speed makes it difficult for him. Free Agent.
