Two-year starter who registered 33/12/4.5 as a senior after career-best numbers of 44/20.5/11.5 the prior year. All-Conference selection as a junior. All-Academic pick in the past.

Pos:

Athletic, pass-rusher coming off a disappointing senior campaign. Explodes off the snap with a quick first step, possesses speed in every direction and immediately alters his angle of attack or redirects to plays. Effectively uses his hands to protect himself, gets tremendous force going up the field and exploits immobile blockers. Displays a solid head for the ball, transferring his classroom intelligence onto the field.

Neg:

Seemingly suffered from a case of senioritis last year. Did not show top instincts and did not always chase hard to make plays. Undersized, is slow to shed blocks or easily removed from his angle of attack by blockers. Does a bit of grab-tackling.
