BIO: West Hills Community College transfer who moved in with the first team as a senior. Played in five games during the 2001 campaign, starting a single contest..

POSITIVES: Massive blocker best in confined quarters. Starts with a wide base, quick off the snap and jolts opponents at the point of attack. Naturally strong, controls defenders turning them out for the running game or anchoring in pass protection.

NEGATIVES: Over extends and plays off balance. Lacks adjustment, not effective in space and only an average athlete. Though strong, more of a big guy than a dominant blocker.

ANALYSIS: Needs to condition himself and improve the strength of his base to have an opportunity at the next level.

PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
