At Florida State: Listed behind returning starter Michael Boulware and Ray Piquion at strongside linebacker…played the middle linebacker position last season…his play making ability caught the coaches attention and should see playing time on FSU special teams…has bounced between linebacker positions thus far in his career…tough competitor who lacks experience.

Sophomore Year (2001): Played behind returning starter Bradley Jennings and Jerel Hudson at middle linebacker…saw action in three games (Duke, Alabama-Birmingham and Wake Forest)…had three tackles, including a tackle for loss against Wake Forest.

Freshman Year (2000): Suffered a sprained right ankle during the first practice of the fall and missed most of the drills.

1999: Sat out the season as a redshirt...dressed out for the first 10 games of the season as coaches believed he might be used, due to a lack of depth at linebacker.

High School: Among the top linebackers in the Southeast as a senior at Palmetto High School...earned first team Class 6A all-state honors after making 127 tackles and five sacks in his final season...generally regarded as one of the two best high school linebackers in Florida, along with Seminole teammate Kendyll Pope...rated the No. 10 prospect in the state by the Gainesville Sun...SuperPrep’s No. 8 linebacker nationally...also considered one of the top 10 linebackers in the country by the National Recruiting Advisor...selected Florida State over Auburn and Florida.

Personal: Majoring in social science…born on August 15, 1980.
