Bio
AT COLORADO: 2018 (Sr.)—He started all 12 games at free safety … Was in for 845 snaps from scrimmage, the most not only by a defensive player but the top figure on the team, offense or defense … Finished seventh on the team in tackles with 45 (37 solo, two for zero gains) … Also had five third down stops, three passes broken up, three touchdown saves and a quarterback pressure … Had one interception, which he made at Washington and returned 30 yards late in the first half that set up a field goal … Had a season-high seven tackles (all solo) against both UCLA and Washington State; had five on two other occasions (at Nebraska, at Cal) … Added a forced fair catch on punt team duties … The coaches presented him with the Tom McMahon Award, which recognizes a player with outstanding dedication and work ethic … In the strength and conditioning testing at the end of the spring semester, he had the team’s best 10-yard sprint time at 1.46 and posted a 36½-inch vertical jump (second highest on the team) … He was Colorado’s nomination for the Wuerffel Trophy, which honors exemplary community service with athletic and academic achievement.
2017 (Jr.)—He played in 10 games and started the final two contests of the season … Posted 29 tackles in 315 snaps from scrimmage, one tackle for a loss, one tackle for no gain, four third down stops, one quarterback pressure, one interception and he had six pass breakups … A lingering hamstring injury suffered early in fall camp caused him to miss the first two games of the season … Returned in week three against Northern Colorado and in 35 snaps, he posted five tackles, one for a loss and another for no gain, had a pass breakup and one third down stop … In 25 snaps in the win at Oregon State, he posted four tackles, two pass breakups and a third down stop … His 100-yard interception return for a touchdown in the win over California was the fourth such play in school history, but first since Steve Rosga against Oklahoma State in 1996 … It was also the 12th 100-yard interception return in Pac-12 history (first since 2008) … For his play, he was honored as the FBS Football Hero of the Week by HERO Sports … In a season-high 59 snaps against No. 15 USC he posted four tackles.
2016 (Soph.)—He played in 12 games, eight on defense (no starts) and in the Alamo Bowl ... Recorded 10 tackles on the season, five third down stops and one pass breakup .. Was named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week for his performance in the win over No. 20 Washington State ... In that game he subbed in for the ejected Afolabi Laguda (targeting) and the injured Ryan Moeller, but stepped right in and made six tackles (all solo), with three third down stops, a fourth down stop and one pass breakup; the fourth down stop was a key play in the game, coming at CU's 15-yard line when Washington State was driving trying to take the lead (trailing 28-24 with 13:17 left in the game) ... After only playing 39 snaps previously on the season, he played 67 versus WSU ... Helped contribute to the defense holding Cougar quarterback Luke Falk to 26-of-53 passing, or 49.1 percent (Falk entered the game leading the nation in completion percentage at .739) ... Recorded seven special teams points during the fall, coming from two solo tackles, one assisted tackle (inside the 20-yard line), one knockdown or springing block on a kick return, was credited with being the first down field once on a kickoff or punt that altered the return path and had one stuffed fake punt.
2015 (Fr.)—He played in all 13 games, seven on defense (including one start at the nickel spot against Oregon), and was in all on special teams ... He was in for 66 snaps from scrimmage and recorded a solo tackle, but on special teams, he earned 10 points on the strength of three assisted tackles (two inside-the-20), three knockdown blocks and two first downfield credits that altered opponent returns.
HIGH SCHOOL—He was an honorable mention All-State performer as a junior, when he also garnered first-team All-CIF and All-Southwestern League honors; he was a second-team All-League selection for his sophomore seasons (he unfortunately wasn’t afforded any postseason honors due to missing the better part of five games with a knee injury) ... A three-year starter at cornerback, he had 10 interceptions and 37 pass deflections in his career; he was a two-year starting running back, rushing for 2,191 career yards ... He still posted some decent numbers despite missing 40 percent of his senior season: he had 44 tackles (34 solo, one for a loss), with four interceptions, nine pass deflections and a fumble recovery; on offense, he had 100 rushes for 791 yards and 12 touchdowns, averaging 7.9 yards per attempt in rushing for over 100 yards on four occasions (200-plus twice) ... As a junior, he was in on 40 tackles (35 solo, one for a loss), with three interceptions, 18 passes broken up and a forced fumble; he ran for 1,266 yards and 18 TDs on offense (152 attempts), with five 100-yard games (two over 200); he also caught five passes for 61 yards ... He punted on four occasions, with a long of 43 and one placed inside-the-20 ... Racked up 43 tackles as a sophomore (34 solo), with four interceptions and 10 PBU’s ... Top games as a senior: in a 38-21 win over Carlsbad, he rushed 17 times for 257 yards and three TDs, with two passes broken up on defense; in a 55-37 win over Chino Hills, he recorded a career-high 12 tackles with an interception; and in his first game back from his knee injury, a 49-23 win over Murietta Valley, he was asked to play free safety for the first time in his life, and he responded with three interceptions and two solo tackles ... As a junior, in a 40-13 win over Heritage, he rushed for 295 yards and three scores, and in a 28-27 triumph over Murietta Valley, he had nine tackles (eight solo), two pass deflections and an interception, with 116 yards and three TDs rushing ... Under coach Robbie Robinson, Great Oak was 10-3 his senior season (city champions, CIF semifinalists), 6-5 his junior year and 5-6 his sophomore campaign … He also lettered three times in track and field (sprints and relays); he owned career bests of 10.89 in the 100-meter dash, 23-6 in the long jump and 47-9 in the triple jump, the latter two Great Oak school records.
ACADEMICS—He is majoring in Strategic Communications at Colorado while also seeking a minor in Ethnic Studies and Leadership Studies (on schedule to graduate in May 2019) ... Earned honorable mention Academic All-Colorado honors from the state’s NFF chapter as a true freshman ... He owned a 3.2 grade point average in high school.
LEADERSHIP—He attended the Black Student-Athlete Summit in January of 2018 and was instrumental in bringing Dr. Leonard Moore, VP for Diversity and Community Engagement at the University of Texas, to the Boulder campus in April 2018 to talk to all CU student-athletes, coaches and staff on diversity and inclusion … Was one of two CU student-athletes (with Eriana Henderson from track) who joined other students on campus and Dyonne Bergeron, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, to attend the 2018 National Conference on Race and Ethnicity in American Higher Education in New Orleans, May 29-June 2, 2018 … In the summer of 2018 he attended The Crowley Foundation boys2MEN Leadership Summit graduation as one of six mentors from four universities to lead the students from high schools in Denver during the week-long program held in Boulder.
PERSONAL—He was born May 23, 1997 in Wildomar, Calif. … Hobbies include bowling; his career-best game is a 215 (which he rolled with a “house-ball”), and in his free time, he enjoys going to the gym at least four days a week to keep in shape ... He first played football when he was four years old, as he was on Pop Warner teams until he entered high school ... He was also an accomplished baseball player in his youth (pitcher, outfielder): a two-time Little League All-Star, he was nicknamed the “Man-Child” for his stature and hitting prowess (a consistent home run hitter, he lived the dream of many: a grand slam home run with two outs in the last inning to win a game) ... He is active in the community through his church, including serving meals to underprivileged community members on weekends, and participating in the yearly Backpack Outreach serving 500 children with backpacks full of essential supplies … Has aspirations of attending law school when his football career comes to an end.
