Recorded a career-high five tackles against SUU ... Logged four tackles, including 0.5 tackles for loss, against Oregon State ... Made two tackles while assisting on first career tackle for loss against Washington State ... Recorded one tackle against Wyoming, Cal and Arizona ... Made one pass breakup vs. Boise State in Las Vegas Bowl.
2016 – Played in all twelve games of the season at safety . . . Recorded 16 (8-8) tackles during the season.
2015 — The true freshman excelled as a special teams standout from the outset, drawing double-team blockers from the opposition on a regular basis . . . Made appearances in 12 of 13 games while recording all seven tackles (3 unassisted) covering kickoffs . . . After posting his initial collegiate takedown at Michigan State, he was credited with a season-high three tackles in the win over USC . . . Also tallied stops vs. Washington, California, and Oregon State . . . Posted his most extensive action vs. Georgia State, logging 11 plays . . . Shifted from linebacker to safety in the 2016 spring, where his reputation as an aggressive competitor could become an asset as he earned more repetitions from scrimmage as the spring wore on . . . Was credited with three tackles in the '16 Spring Game.

The versatile standout and Associated Press second-team all-state linebacker earned South Puget Sound League defensive MVP accolades as well as first-team all-league acclaim as an athlete and kick returner . . . Also attracted inclusion on the Tacoma News Tribune’s Northwest Nuggets honor roll . . .

Also ran the ball 85 times for 666 yards (7.8-yard avg.) and 12 touchdowns last fall in addition to tallying 225 yards and one TD on eight kickoffs (28.1 avg.) and 97 yards and another score on two punt returns (48.5 avg.) . . .
