AT COLORADO: This Season (Fr.) - He is projected as a tailback in this, his true freshman season in college.

HIGH SCHOOL - As a senior, he was ranked as the No. 286 player on ESPN’s 300 List, and was ranked 93rd (the 15th running back) on the Texas 150 List by Dave Campbell’s Texas Football. He also garnered Houston Area Player of the Week honors for his efforts against Conroe. He finished his career as The Woodlands all-time leader in rushing yards (4,932), yards from scrimmage (5,202) and touchdowns (51), while recording 18 games with 100 or more yards. As a senior, he rushed the ball 172 times for 1,276 yards and 18 touchdowns, averaging a very healthy 7.6 yards per try; he had six games over 100 yards and scored at least one touchdown in nine of 11 games. He added six receptions for 56 yards. His junior year, he had 230 attempts for 1,635 yards (7.1 per) and 15 touchdowns, also catching seven passes for 38 yards. As a sophomore, the coaches brought him along slowly and methodically, and then gave him a chance to breakout: in the seventh game of the year, he rushed for 247 yards in a 49-21 win over rival Lufkin, and it triggered a run of five-straight 200-plus yard games. He finished the year with 224 attempts for 2,021 yards and 18 touchdowns, averaging a stout nine yards per carry. He caught 18 passes for 176 yards. Top games as a senior: in a 24-7 win over Katy, he rushed for 81 yards and a touchdown as THWS ended its rival’s 50-game regular season win streak; in a big 49-3 win over La Porte in what was expected to be a close game, he ran for 127 yards and three TDs on nine carries, the scores coming on runs of 73, 22 and 11 yards; and in a 63-14 win over Summer Creek, he had 120 yards on just nine tries, with five of those runs scoring touchdowns (his high game of the year came in a 33-14 win over Oak Ridge, when he carried 18 times for 141 yards and three scores). As a junior, despite losing 56-21 to Allen in the regional round of the playoffs, he rushed 19 times for 196 yards and a score against the toughest defense he saw his entire prep career. Under coach Mark Schmid, The Woodlands was 9-2 his senior year, 10-3 his junior season and 8-4 his sophomore year, winning or sharing its district title all three years. He earned four letters in track and field this spring (sprints and jumps); he owns the school record in the long jump (23-11) and has personal best 10.56 in the 100-meter run.

ACADEMICS - He is interested in Communication as his major at Colorado.

PERSONAL - He was born September 22, 1995 in Conroe, Texas. Active in community service, he has worked extensively with special needs children.
