AT COLORADO: 2015 (Sr.)—He saw action in seven games, including three on defense, where he was in for eight plays; he had two tackles (one solo). On special teams duty, he earned five special team points on the strength of an assisted tackle (which was inside-the-20), a knockdown block, a wedge break and a first downfield credit that altered the return path. The coaching staff honored him with the Defensive Scout Player of the Year Award for his efforts on the scout team.

2014 (Jr.)—He saw action in one game on special teams (at Arizona), and dressed for two others. He had an unassisted tackle that was also good for a third down stop in the spring game.

2013 (Soph.)—He did not see any action, but did dress for one game (Charleston Southern); he missed the last three weeks of practice after suffering a concussion on November 9. He rejoined the team as a walk-on for spring practices; he had one tackle in the main scrimmage action.

2012 (Fr.-RS)—Attended CU-Boulder but was not on the football team.
