Notes:
Nickname is "Bill" --- A four-year starter for the Ragin Cajuns --- Named 1st Team All-Sun Belt in 2011 --- Transfer from Dodge City Community College --- Helped lead powerhouse Pahokee High School (FL) to three state championships and was a teammate of Janoris Jenkins --- Came away with a couple of interceptions against Oklahoma St. and Brandon Weeden / Justin Blackmon as a senior --- Earned an invitation to the 2012 Senior Bowl and more than held his own --- Underrated prospect plays bigger than measurables and possesses the talent to compete for a starting job at the next level but best fit may come as a nickel.
