Notes:
A four-year starter for Grizzlies --- Named 1st Team All-Big Sky in 2009, 2010 and 2011 --- A 1st Team All-American in 2010 and 2nd Team in 2011 (Division I-AA) --- Could project to either corner or safety at next level --- Tasered, arrested and charged w/ obstructing a peace officer, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest in October of 2011, ultimately pleading guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct and having others dropped --- Rangy with some rare physical tools and just might be as talented as any defensive back in this class but shaky intangibles could make it difficult to maximize immense potential --- Boom or Bust.
