Notes:
A three-year starter for the Tigers --- Named 2nd Team All-Conference USA in 2011 --- Led all prospects in the bench press at the Scouting Combine by putting up 44 reps of 225 pounds --- Gets knocked for a lack of production but posted similar tackles for a loss / sack numbers as Haloti Ngata, B.J. Raji and Phil Taylor at the same point in their careers --- Could project to nose tackle in either a 4-3 or 3-4 scheme and could also play the five-technique in an odd front --- Extraordinary physical specimen with truly rare blend of size / strength / athleticism.
