The PrepStar all-region choice has excelled as a two-way standout for the Honkers, who struggled with a 3-7 record his senior year. Tabbed as his team’s “go-to guy” as evidenced by teammates voting him Yuba City’s most valuable player each of his last two years. Selected first-team all Sac-Metro on offense following his final year after earning second-team honors as a junior. The three-time all-Metro League pick failed to allow a quarterback sack in his three years at offensive tackle despite starting every game on both offense and defense during that span, in addition to being hailed as league’s offensive line co-MVP his final prep campaign. Also served as team’s long snapper through his prep tenure. Accumulated five QB takedowns, 11 tackles for loss and deflected three passes defensively last fall while the offense sported a balanced attack (1,562 yards rushing, 1,467 yards passing). Was credited with 56 tackles, eight quarterback sacks and two fumble recoveries in 2004. Took pride in leading by example as a two-time team captain but not shy about assuming responsibility as one of program’s most vocal leaders when needed. Also excels as a standout wrestler as the all-league heavyweight is ranked second in the section with a 24-0 record (23 pins).
