OREGON - Made use of the 2005 spring to catapult himself into position for a starting role his junior season. Encountered a solid fall camp and started the season strong. Kept battling all year to his credit yet development leveled off toward the end of the year. Returns as one of the team's most experienced defensive linemen and utilizes his quickness to disrupt the offense. Time spent in the weight room starting to pay dividends for one of the program's fastest linemen, but still needs to get stronger. Also learning to use his hands to his advantage. Injuries delayed his progress in the past but able to demonstrate what he can do when healthy. Summer workouts remain key to getting a good start in the fall and expected to push for a starting nod, however will be a vital component to the defense's success as a starter or key reserve.
