6002, 320, 5.11
Notes: From Gladewater, TX. Lettered as a backup, playing in all 13 games, with 32 tackles, 9.5 TFL and 1 FF in 2015. Top reserve in defensive tackle rotation, playing all 13 games, contributing 25 tackles, 2.5 TFL, 1.5 sacks and 1 PBU in 2016. Appeared in 13 games, with 1 start at defensive tackle, recording 19 tackles, 5 TFL, 1 sack and 1 FF in 2017. After playing at 340 pounds as an underclassman, he came into his senior campaign in better physical condition.
Positives: Powerful and stout at the point of attack. Can push blockers backwards and is overpowering at times. Plays with passion. Gets off blocks and makes tackles against the run. Gets some upfield push on the pass rush.
Negatives: Shorter than you’d like. Doesn’t have much in the way of lateral agility or movement. Strictly a power-type pass rusher with limited variety or moves.
Summary: Fireplug-type nose tackle.
