2009
Great expectations busted by injury in fall camp. After missing the first five games he tried to come back against Texas Tech but after one tackle-for-loss he was lost for the rest of the season. Although technically a junior in 2010 his '09 season would seem to qualify as a medical redshirt season should he want another year. Unblockable in spring game with six solo tackles among his nine total, four for-loss, three sacks and one forced fumble.
