Notes:
A two-year starter for Trojans --- Named 1st Team All-Sun Belt in 2010 & 2011 --- Native of Monrovia Liberia, West Africa --- Cousins Visanthe Shiancoe and Mohammed Massaquoi both play in NFL --- Greyshirted then spent the 2008 season at Butler County Community College and recorded 20.0 sacks while helping lead the team to a NJCAA National Championship --- Redshirted at Troy in 2009 --- Looked like a future first round pick at times as a sophomore but regressed as a junior yet opted to leave for the pros anyway --- Will attempt to follow in the footsteps of Osi Umenyiora and DeMarcus Ware --- Could project to defensive end (4-3) or outside linebacker (3-4) at the next level --- An enigma with some undeniably intriguing physical tools and upside but may lack the necessary intangibles to ever capitalize on all that talent.
