Three-year starter and All-Conference selection after his junior and senior campaigns. Numbers last season were 74/3/7. Led the team in tackles in ‘04, compiling 120/4/5. Missed the ’05 season after tearing a knee ligament during the first game.

Pos:

Intense, hard-hitting safety who plays with reckless abandon. Reads the action, goes for the knockout blow and works to intimidate opponents. Possesses a burst of speed and always works to get involved in the action. Works well with cornerbacks and has a burst to the ball.

Neg:

Does not consistently take the best angles to the action. Blows cover assignments. Seemingly more intent on knocking the opponent’s head off and does not tackle with proper technique. Has a long injury history that dates back to his freshman season.
