He had three solo tackles, including one inside-the-20, and two knockdown blocks. He was placed on scholarship during the second week of August camp, as the coaches rewarded him particularly for his dedication on special teams.
2002 (Jr.)?He played in all 14 games, including the Alamo Bowl, on special teams, and a few on offense at receiver. He completed a 29-yard pass on the old throwback play to quarterback Robert Hodge at UCLA, leading to a key CU touchdown two plays later. He had one knockdown block on special teams duty, as he performed on several units. He started spring at receiver, but was switched over to defense as the secondary really needed some bodies. He had two tackles in the spring game playing free safety, but returned to offense for fall camp.
2001 (Soph.)?He saw action in 12 games, including the Fiesta Bowl, with all of his action coming on special teams (he had one knockdown block on return duty).
2000 (Fr.-RS)?He played in the final five games of the year on the punt team, seeing enough action to earn his first letter.
