Former defensive tackle that moved into the starting position at center as a senior. Saw action at the pivot and at guard both his junior and sophomore campaigns after registering 15 tackles on the defensive line his first-year with the active roster.
Short, squat versatile lineman. Quick off the snap, built low to the ground and gets underneath defenders' pads. Extends his arms, keeps opponents away and attacks his blocks. Keeps his feet moving in pass protection, looks for someone to hit or helps out his line-mates. Works hard throughout the play and effective with the shotgun snap. Adequate strength at the point of attack but still has difficulty handling one-on-one blocking assignments, does not move well in space and has trouble with big, inside thumpers. Lacks both range and balance, bending at the waist which makes the situation worse. Had a fine senior campaign, which at the very least will get him into a camp in August. Free Agent.
