Originally signing a letter-of-intent at Oregon out of high school during the winter of 2003, the two-year junior college starter played a major role on the Rams’ 8-3 contingent which finished 19th in the California Community College Football Conference in rushing (181.0 avg.) and 24th in total offense (373.6 avg.) in 2004. Did not miss a game for the Valley Conference tri-champions who ranked fifth in the state prior to a season-ending 42-21 loss to eventual state champion City College of San Francisco in the Hawaiian Punch Bowl. Helped clear the way for school’s 1,400-yard rusher in 2004 after Fresno City posted a 9-2 slate in 2003. As a prep standout, one of the Island’s best offensive linemen was afforded first-team all-state and O’ahu Interscholastic Association East Red Conference all-league accolades in 2002 after being rated among the top 30 tight ends in the country prior to his final season. Ranked as the fifth-best college prospect in Hawaii by the Honolulu Star Bulletin, proved to be an integral part of an offense that led the OIA in total offense (445.0 avg.) in 2002 as a prep senior after assisting Surfriders to the conference title. Enrolled at Oregon at the start of the winter term and will benefit from participating in spring drills.
