He played 11 snaps in all on the FG/PAT unit. He had also missed most of spring practices after suffering a shoulder subluxation on the third day of drills (March 12).

2012 (Soph.) - He did not see any action, but dressed for three games and practiced all year at defensive end. He got plenty of reps during spring drills with a depleted corps of defensive linemen and had four tackles (three solo, one for a zero gain) in the main spring scrimmages.

2011 (Fr.-RS) - He did not see any action; he suffered a fractured jaw that required surgery and was on a liquid diet at one point, which made him drop some weight. He had joined the team as a walk-on for spring practices and had three tackles (one solo) in the three main spring scrimmages.
