Overview
2013: First-team All-AAC selection after playing in 12 games and making 10 starts. 2012: Redshirted due to transfer from Notre Dame. 2011: Played 12 games and started five at Notre Dame as a true freshman.
Analysis
Strengths
Outstanding size and body length. Flashes some playmaking ability. Deceptive strength to leverage the edge. Has a giant wingspan and can corral ballcarriers.
Weaknesses
Classic underachiever. Questionable effort, motor and desire. Leaves production on the field. Does not play with passion and lacks urgency. Goes through the motions. Is not a strong or creative rusher and does not create plays. Lacks concentration and focus. Will require maintenance.
Draft Projection
Rounds 4-5
Bottom Line
A big, athletic prospect who displayed the most potential as a freshman at Notre Dame. Has underachieved since transferring closer to home and shedding considerable weight. Must prove motivated to reach his potential. Finished the season strong and finally showed signs of the talent he displayed as a standout freshman. Could benefit from a strong, mentoring, veteran position coach. Interview process will dictate draft status.
