AT COLORADO: 2015 (Jr./Sr.)— He saw his first collegiate action, finishing up the games against Massachusetts (three snaps) and Nicholls State (five plays). For his eight plays on the season, he had an 87.5 percent grade overall and a 50.0 plus play percentage. He earned the team’s Offensive Scout Player of the Year honor as selected by the CU coaches. He had two years of eligibility remaining, but decided to forego the second and play as a senior. He ended the spring listed third at center, but also has practiced at the guard position.
2014 (Soph.)—He did not see any game action, but did dress for eight games and was on the travel squad by the end of the season.
2013 (Fr.-RS)—He did not see any action, but did dress for three games (Oregon State, Oregon and Arizona). He ended the spring second at right guard, as he received plenty of reps with several players out due to injury. He won the John Wooten Award for the most outstanding work ethic in spring practice, as selected by the coaching staff.
2012 (Fr.)—Redshirted; he practiced along the offensive line the entire season. He joined the team as a recruited walk-on for August camp.
HIGH SCHOOL—He lettered twice at Torrey Pines High School as both an offensive and defensive lineman. As a senior, he was named second-team All-Palomar League on offense, when playing left guard he allowed only two quarterback sacks and was flagged for only two penalties. On defense (tackle), he had 20 total tackles and five quarterback sacks. He played right tackle as a junior but did not play on defense. Under coach Scott Ashby, Torrey Pines was 5-7 his senior season after posting a 10-2 mark his junior year (Palomar League and District champs). He lists his biggest moment of his prep career as picking up a fumble and running with it for 25 yards.
ACADEMICS—He graduated with a double major in Communication and Broadcast News in December 2015.
PERSONAL—He was born June 8, 1994 in Chicago, Ill. As a youngster, he was once a bat boy for the Chicago Cubs. His goals after college are to work for a sports team or be on ESPN; he reported on a high school football game as a prep and did the highlights on local television. A high school teammate, David Bagby, joined him as a recruited walk-on in CU’s 2012 freshman class, but returned closer to home after that season. His nickname is Vinny.
