AS A BULLDOG: Received a handsome promotion one game into 2011 following a season-ending injury to Joe Akey and retained his grip on the starting right end job for the remaining 13 engagements ... his sophomore statistical printout included 23 total tackles and one quarterback sack ... put an exclamation point on the 2011 season with a career-high seven-tackle afternoon against Wayne State U. in the NCAA II quarterfinals ... was credited with two solo tackles and helped out on four other stops two years ago ... picked up half of those total tackles at Minnesota Crookston in early November of that year ... was redshirted as a first-year freshman in 2009.

COLLEGIATE HIGHS: Total Tackles -7 vs. Wayne State U. (12/3/11). Sacks - 1.0 at Colorado State-Pueblo (11/26/11). Tackles For Loss - 1.0 at Colorado State-Pueblo (11/26/11) and vs. Minnesota Crookston (11/5/11).
