What a disruptive player! Defensively, he was all over the field. Lining up at defensive end, inside linebacker or outside linebacker. Awesome size, he really stood out on the field. Great hands as a tight end, and was split out wide from time to time to create mismatches for the opposing team. Had at least four catches in five different games. An awesome run blocker as well, bigger than the average high school offensive lineman. Not just a great athlete for his size, but a great athlete overall. He was named All-Conference 1st Team at defensive line.
