AT COLORADO: This Season (Fr.)-Projected as a fullback his true freshman year in college, but also could see some action at tailback with his dual talents at both positions.

HIGH SCHOOL-As a senior, he was one of the top-ranked fullbacks in the country, he was listed as the No. 3 prospect at the position by ESPN.com and No. 4 by Scout.com.  SuperPrep slotted him as the No. 97 overall player in the Far West region and the No. 2 fullback out of the state of California; Rivals.com ranked him as the No. 55 athlete in the nation.  He earned first-team All-CIF Southern Section Inland Division and All-Baseline League honors on the defensive line as both a junior and a senior.  He also was named first-team All-Baseline as a fullback for his senior season, and as sophomore at Alta Loma High School, he garnered honorable mention All-Baseline League honor as a defensive lineman.  In his senior season, he rushed 40 times for exactly 400 yards and seven touchdowns and had seven receptions for 116 yards, all while clearing the way for fellow CU signee Donta Abron to rush for 1,754 yards and 33 touchdowns.  On defense, he recorded 90 tackles (50 solo), including 15 quarterback sacks, three safeties and two passes broken up.  Top games as a senior included a game against Murrieta Valley in the first round of the playoffs, when he rushed three times for 83 yards and two touchdowns, breaking one for a career-long 53 yards.  He also had six tackles in the 59-21 victory for the Highlanders.  Another top game from his senior season was a 54-27 win versus Norco when he had a career-high 17 tackles.  As a junior, he had 63 tackles (36 solo), eight sacks, five forced fumbles, and an interception on defense, while toting the ball four times for 45 yards and catching two passes for 17 yards and a touchdown on offense.  His best performance as a junior came in a 41-14 win against Glendora, when he sacked the quarterback four times and recorded six total tackles.  In his sophomore season with Alta Loma, he had 104 tackles (51 solo), three sacks, two fumbles caused, and two recovered fumbles.  On the other side of the ball, he rushed 27 times for 150 yards and four scores, while catching seven passes for 42 yards. .  Upland was 12-1 (Baseline League champions) as a senior and 8-4 as a junior under coach Tim Salter.  He also lettered in track (shot put), and was the Baseline League champion as a junior.

ACADEMICS-He is undecided on a major at Colorado.  He was a member of the Honor Roll in high school.
