Bio
AT COLORADO: Prior to the start of spring practice for the 2017 season, he decided to no longer play football.
2016 (Jr.)—He saw action in 12 games, including the Alamo Bowl, with seven regular season starts at right tackle (he missed the Arizona and Washington State contests due to injury). He played 481 snaps on the season and finished with an overall grade of 2.36; he was credited with six knockdown blocks, seven touchdown blocks (direct) and nine perfect plays on passing touchdowns while allowing only two-and-a-half sacks. In his start against Arizona State when he played 81 snaps, he and his fellow offensive line helped the Buffaloes rush for 315 yards as a team; he played all but three snaps in that game, which was his best single-game figure (2.28) for the season. He was in for another 15 plays on the field goal/PAT unit on special teams.
2015 (Soph.)—He played in 11 games (six starts, three each at left and right offensive tackle), and missed two games due to concussion and knee injuries (Arizona State, Utah). He was in for 504 snaps from scrimmage, the sixth-most on offense, yet by far and away led the team in knockdown blocks with 37 (his 10 against Arizona was a single-game high for the team). He also had nine perfect protection plays on touchdown passes and added six direct TD blocks. He was flagged for just one penalty and allowed a single quarterback sack (but did allow 16 pressures). He owned a 56.9 plus-play percentage grade, and an overall grade of 82.5 percent. He graded out to 80 percent or higher in six games, including five of his starts. He played an additional 31 snaps on the field goal/PAT unit on special teams.
2014 (Fr.-RS)—He saw action in all 12 games, including two on offense (USC, Washington). In 84 snaps from scrimmage, he recorded 39 plus plays for a 37.5 plus-play percentage; he had another 27 graded even to give him an overall grade of 78.6 percent. He played the bulk of his snaps (76) in the Arizona game after replaced Jeromy Irwin who left the game win a sprained ankle; he had four of his season’s five knockdown blocks against the Wildcats. In addition, he was in for all 63 plays on special teams on the field goal/PAT unit.

The Houston Chronicle named him as a member of its Houston Top 100, and he earned honorable mention All-State, first-team All-District 14-5A, first-team All-County and first-team All-Greater Houston honors. He played in the International Bowl, as he was a member of Team USA (U-18) that squared off against Team Canada in Austin, Texas. He also was a second-team All-District performer as a junior. A two-year starter at offensive tackle, he had over 80 pancake blocks, 20 direct touchdown blocks and did not allow a quarterback sack in his 26-game career. As a senior, he graded out to 89 percent, highest on the team; he allowed four quarterback pressures and was called for five penalties. As a junior, he allowed five pressures and was flagged just three times. Top game as a senior came in a 42-33 win over College Park, when he graded out to 93 percent and had six pancake blocks; his best game as a junior was against Dallas Skyline (a 35-31 loss in the state 5A quarterfinals), when he had a 95 percent game grade with three pancake blocks. Under Coach Mark Schmid, The Woodlands was 8-4 his senior year, sharing the District 14-5A title, and 12-2 his junior season; TWHS lost in second round of the playoffs his senior year after reaching the quarterfinals the previous season.
