BIO: Part-time ball handler who left the squad during the first half of the 2002 season. Played in only three games as a senior carrying the ball 14 times for 39 yards without catching a pass. Junior totals were 94-647-5 on the ground, accounting for 19 receptions for 189 yards. Former Junior College All-American.

POSITIVES: Athletic skill player who's career may be in disarray at this point. As a ball carrier he displays vision, sets up his blocks then follows them. Solid receiver out of the backfield who naturally catches the ball and picks up yardage running after the reception. Tall, solid build.

NEGATIVES: Not an elusive runner or ball carrier who makes defenders miss. Only marginal footwork and cutting skills.

ANALYSIS: May have projected as a third down back based on his receiving skills but football future is up in the air.

PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
