Grade: 3.22

BIO: Part time starter rarely asked to handle the ball. Caught six passes for 56 yards as a senior but did not take a hand off. Played only four games the prior year due to back surgery finishing with 4-11-1 on the ground with 3-61 receptions. Sophomore totals were 31-133-1 as a ball carrier with 10-147-2 catching the ball. Received All-Conference honors as a senior.

POSITIVES: Athletic fullback whose development has been slowed by injury. Hard working blocker who squares into the opponents displaying strength at the initial point of attack. Effective receiver out of the backfield with natural hands.

NEGATIVES: Does not play to his timed speed, lacks adjustment and overall game lacks explosion.

ANALYSIS: Tough to get a grip on as he's not been a big part of the offense the past three years. Could get looks based on his athletic abilities but needs a lot of work.

PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
