Four-year starter awarded All-Conference honors each of the last three seasons.

Pos:

Smart, alert lineman who stands out in pass protection. Displays a lot of quickness, recognizes blitzes and is an outstanding position blocker who makes effective use of angles. Stays square, keeps defenders in front of him and fights with his hands. Strong in pass protection and anchors at the point. Turns defenders from their angle of attack and keeps his feet moving on contact.

Neg:

Not a dominant run blocker nor a true finisher. More of a finesse lineman than an outright mauler. Suffered a stress fracture in his foot early last season that hampered his play all year.
