2011 OUTLOOK
Bookend on the right side of the offensive line who enters his fourth season as a starter with a team-high 37 career starts under his belt and brings a team-high 111 career knockdown blocks into the season. A Preseason All-ACC pick by several publications who is considered one of the top tackles in the country along with teammate Andrew Datko. Bulked up in the offseason despite missing spring practice with a minor surgery. Smart player that possesses great strength, foot quickness and explosion off the ball. Tall and athletic lineman, with an impressive wingspan, who has proven adept at both pass and run blocking. He and fellow tackle Andrew Datko spent the spring mentoring and teaching the younger offensive linemen Rick Trickett's blocking schemes, which coaches hope helped them just as much as it did the younger players.
