BIO: Part-time starter as a senior, posting 34 tackles, nine tackles for loss and 31/2 sacks. Honorable Mention Big 12 choice the prior season with 49-8-5.5, leading the team in sacks. Started four games as a red-shirt sophomore and finished the season with 12 tackles and one tackle for loss. Three time Academic All Big 12.

POSITIVES: Athletic pass rusher who may lack a true position at the next level. Breaks down well playing with leverage, balance and rarely off his feet. Quick altering his angle of attack, pursues with speed from the backside and displays a closing burst on the ball carrier. Effectively uses hand techniques to stay off blocks.

NEGATIVES: Small, cannot get off blocks once engaged at the point and must take wide angles to get around lineman. Hesitant mentally and does not immediately locate the ball.

ANALYSIS: Slight possibilities to find his way as a pass rush specialist or possibly an outside linebacker that stands up over tackle.

PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
