HIGH SCHOOL?A Student Sports honorable mention All-American his senior year, when PrepStar named him to its All-West Region squad and tabbed him as the “most talented offensive lineman in California.” He was a SuperPrep All-Far West selection (No. 75 overall, 13th-best lineman), while Rivals.com ranked him the No. 44 guard in the country and No. 76 player in the postseason California Top 100. In addition, he was a first-team all-state, all-CIF Southern Section, all-Riverside County and all-Mountain View League honoree, and was named the Inland Empire Lineman of the Year. A four-year letterman, he earned his team’s Lineman of the Year award as a senior, while he also played in the California-Florida Prep All-Star Game and was inducted into the Riverside County Hall of Fame. The L.A. Times also named him to the All-Southern California Team, which covers all teams and classifications. As a junior, he was named to the first-team all-league squad. During his senior campaign he didn’t allow any sacks, while he helped pave the way for Centennial’s 2,714 yards rushing yards and 50 touchdowns. His top prep moment came in a 2004 win over Rancho Cucamonga when he went toe to toe with Averell Spicer, who many recruiting services consider to be one of the nation’s top defensive ends. Under coach Matt Logan, Centennial was 13-1 and won the CIF Division 5 Championship his senior year, 9-4 his junior season (lost in CIF semifinals), was 13-1 his sophomore season (CIF champs) and 11-1 his freshman campaign (lost in CIF quarterfinals).
