2003: Saw action in 13 of the team's 14 games...helped to solidify the offensive line that protected an offense that ended the season ranked no. 2 nationally in passing efficiency and a quarterback that ended the season ranked no. 4 nationally individually...it was a line that matured into one that could showcase a trio of tailbacks that accumulated more than four games with 100 yards rushing.
2002: Continued to be a staple on the offensive line…played in nine of the 11 games.
2001: Excelled on the offensive line until he suffered an ankle injury midway through the season. Returned for the final two games of the season. Between spring of 2001 and spring of 2002 gained 22 pounds.
2000: Suffered a back injury in the fall and was sidelined much of the spring season. Projection was that if he remained healthy, he could fight for a starting spot at right guard.
High School: Played for Jim Kroll at Palmetto High School...played in All-Dade/All-Broward All-Star Game...was part of the offensive line that helped defeat Southridge in winning the District 16 Championship in 1999...nominated for the Touchdown Club Player of the Year.
