HIGH SCHOOL ? The two-year starter acquired first-team
all-Marine League honors his junior and senior seasons as defensive end standout in addition to picking up first-team all-city kudos his final campaign. Accumulated 47 of his 90 tackles unassisted in 2000 while adding five quarterback sacks and a pair of pass deflections. Also secured seven catches for 225 yards and four touchdowns from tight end slot, including a 53-yard reception. Athletic skills epitomized by averaging 27.0 yards on 12 kickoff returns (324 yards) for the Pirates, who put together a 19-7 ledger over his last two seasons while falling in the city championship semifinals on both occasions.
OREGON ? Enters final season adapting to a new position as he was switched from linebacker to defensive end during 2005 spring drills. Benefits from being familiar with Oregon’s defensive system for last four years as well as knowledge of what it takes to be successful at this level. Will be able to utilize advantage as program’s fastest defensive lineman (4.92) but must quickly grasp technique to offset size or strength disadvantages. Certainly will be a factor on special teams and situations where he is able to rely on his quickness. Posted two tackles in last year’s spring finale.
2004 ? Accumulated five unassisted tackles in 10 appearances in a reserve linebacker role and on special teams, with three of the stops occurring against Oklahoma. Took part in 33 snaps in Norman, Okla., and 24 vs. Indiana.
2003 ? Rebounded from injury-plagued campaign to pace special teams with 10 tackles in 10 appearances, including a season-high two vs. Mississippi State, Nevada, Stanford and Oregon State. Credited with “big hit” for his play on kickoff return vs. the Cardinal. Saved his best performance for last, accumulating collegiate-best four tackles in the Sun Bowl vs. Minnesota.
2002 ? Was primed to be a solid backup in Oregon’s talented linebacking crew before injuries delayed his appointment. Played in the Ducks’ opener versus Mississippi State and finished with one special teams tackle, but sustained a knee injury that week forcing him to miss the remainder of the season.
2001 ? The redshirt aided offense with looks at the opposition as a scout team defender before securing three tackles in 2002 spring finale.
