School Height Wt Spd Position

2004: 85 tackles, 17 TFL, 8.5 sacks.
What a physical speciman, during the Terps spring testing he had a 385 pound bench, 590 pound squat and a 41.5 inch vertical jump, which was the best ever for a defensive lineman in the schools history. He would probably be ranked much higher but he carries the dreaded tweener label. He will probably be moved to an outside rush linebacker in the NFL, best suited for a 3-4 defense. Plays with a non-stop motor and a real hustler on the field. Finds the football well and never takes a play off. Has a great burst and will beat most offensive tackles with his lightening first step. Had an outstanding 2004 season, led the Terps with tackles for loss with 17, with an additional 8 sacks and 3 forced fumbles
