Not only a solid back-up linebacker, but one of the key players on the Vikings’ talented special teams... should compete for more playing time and possibly to start in 2012... good size and athleticism.

JUNIOR SEASON • 2011
Played in nine games, missing the first two to clear up eligibility issues... made 27 tackles, including 3.5 for losses and a sack... ranked 12th on the team in tackles... may have been most valuable on special teams, particularly as a rush man... blocked two of PSU seven blocked punts and came very close to several more during the season, altering opponents punting games... his blocks also amassed 45 return yards... had a season-high six tackles in the win at Idaho State (10/1)... made four tackles with two for losses and a sack in beating Willamette (10/22)... blocked punts against Montana State (10/8) and Eastern Washington (10/29)... a redshirt in 2010.
