Position: FB Class: Sr School: Michigan Conference: Big Ten Ht., Wt.: 6'2, 241 40 Time: 4.68 Grade: 3.49 Selected by New York Jets Round 3, pick 21 (85 overall)

BIO: Full time starter the past two seasons after seeing ex10sive action with the first team as a red-shirt sophomore. Totaled 110 carries last season for 568 yards and six rushing scores, also catching 36 passes for 280 yards, adding a touchdown. Team's feature runner in 2001 and a Big 10 honorable mention pick leading Michigan on the ground totaling 199-902-10 and catching 26-236-2. POSITIVES: Versatile, triple threat fullback, solid in all aspects of his position. Good athlete who displays vision, above average speed and tenacity to his game. Effectively gets ahead of the ball carrier to the on the second level as a lead fullback, squares into the opponent and attacks his assignments. Finds the running lanes taking hand-offs, sets up defenders and makes them miss in a small area, weaving his way through the traffic. Catches the ball well out of the backfield and offers the QB a viable receiving threat. NEGATIVES: Undersized for a true blocking back, not strong at the point and has great difficulty finishing blocks. Gathers into opponents, lacks footwork in pass protection and does not anchor. ANALYSIS: Versatility is key as though he does not dominate in any single aspect, can be used in a variety of ways which enhances his worth at the next level. PROJECTION: Late Fifth Round
