BIO: Part-time starter both his senior and junior seasons. Posted 53 tackles as a senior with one interception and seven pass defenses, after starting the first three games of the 2001 season and recording 16-0-3 before breaking his left ankle and red-shirting. Started four games in 2000 and posted 45-1-2. Top special teams player.

POSITIVES: Good sized corner who may be best on the inside at safety. Reads or anticipates the action, displays a nice break on the throw and very active in run defense as a senior.

NEGATIVES: Loses in transition, bites on receivers moves and has a lot of passes completed behind him. Lacks recovery and catch up speed and does more chasing than covering.

ANALYSIS: Overall game needs a lot of work but his experience and productivity on special teams makes him worth bringing into camp.

PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
