Official Bio

Stars
Strengths:
   • Average size but long arms and large hands
   • Terrific athleticism, quickness, agility, balance
   • Knee bender w/ nimble feet to slide and mirror
   • Is able to secure the edge in pass protection
   • Active hands and delivers violent initial punch
   • Mobile enough to pull and get to second level
   • Offers some positional versatility ( OT / OG )
   • Is tough, durable, competitive and aggressive
   • A hard worker w/ good amount of experience

Weaknesses:
   • Shorter than you'd prefer; room to add weight
   • Lacks power; won't get huge push in run game
   • Could use better leverage, technique, footwork
   • Does not always play to the whistle and finish
   • May be a 'tweener without a true pro position
   • Didn't consistently face top-flight competition

Injury History:
   • Sprained an ankle in 2010 but played through it

Notes:
A three-year starter for the Trojans --- Named 2nd Team All-Sun Belt in 2010 and 1st Team in 2011 --- Started out at Southwest Mississippi Community College in 2008 before transferring to Troy --- Won 2005 Mississippi state weightlifting championship --- Could project to both tackle and guard at next level but will likely play on the left side either way --- Finesse type with a nice blend of physical tools and intangibles whose optimal fit might come in a zone blocking scheme --- Underrated prospect with upside and the talent to win a starting job in the NFL.
