Round 4, pick 19 (116 overall)
BIO: Junior entry and Two-year starter, both an All-SEC and All-Academic selections his senior and junior campaigns. Totaled 57 tackles, six tackles for loss and one sack last season after 49-10.5-2.5 the prior year.

POSITIVES: Hard working, interior prospect known as a high character individual. Quick off the snap, keeps his pad level low and gets leverage on opponents. Drives up the field, wedges between blocks and displays a burst of closing speed. Gives top effort and always working to make positive plays.

NEGATIVES: Lacks a fluid change of direction, best in a straight line and not effective laterally. Easily knocked off balance or engulfed by opponents.

ANALYSIS: Coming off a solid but not spectacular junior campaign and was a bit disappointing based off his play of 2001. Needed to stay in college one more season.

PROJECTION: Mid Fourth Round
