2011 OUTLOOK
Powerful linebacker with good awareness going into his fourth year at FSU. Started the spring at middle linebacker and has shined at the position but has done just as good a job of being a leader taking over in the middle of the defense.

2010
A redshirt sophomore who saw his first playing time since the 2008 season, when he missed all of the 2009 season with a back injury...was among the players who made the greatest strides in the offseason conditioning program since the arrival of strength coach Vic Viloria...earned playing time behind senior Kendall Smith at middle linebacker after enjoying an outstanding spring practice...registered a single-season high 17 tackles while participating in 11 of 14 games...established a new career-high with five tackles (four solos) in the season opener against Samford...had three tackles in extended playing time against North Carolina...credited with two pass breakups which came against Oklahoma and UNC.

2009
Battled a back injury that led to a redshirt season, though he returned to the practice field over the final month of the regular season.

2008
Played in 12 games as a true freshman and finished second on the team among first-year defenders with 10 tackles...graduated early from high school and enrolled in January 2008, which allowed him to get up to speed in spring practice...had three tackles in each of his first two games - against Western Carolina and Chattanooga...was the back-up at middle linebacker...saw action in every game except the win at Miami.

PERSONAL
Earned a four-star ranking as an inside linebacker as a high school senior...named Polk County Defensive Player of the Year as a junior and all-county honors as a sophomore...amassed almost 300 tackles with 48 tackles for loss and 25 sacks over three varsity seasons...earned 3A second-team All-State honors as a senior...co-MVP of the Scout.com combine in Jacksonville...chose Florida State over LSU, Ohio State and Florida... older brother of fellow Seminole Karlos who is a freshman in 2011...born December 27, 1989.

Tackles 5, vs. Samford, 2010
TFL 1, twice last vs. Wisconsin, 2008
