AT COLORADO: This Season (Soph.)-Enters the fall listed second at right tackle, but he could very well end up at guard where he practiced and played during the previous season as well. 

2008 (Fr.-RS)-He saw action in 11 games (did not play in the opener against Colorado State), and started the last eight games of the season (conference play), all at right tackle.  He was in for 585 snaps from scrimmage, grading out a season-best 93 percent at Nebraska; he also had one other game where he graded over 80 percent (Iowa State).  He had 16.5 knockdown blocks for the year, four each against Florida State and Texas A&M, and one touchdown block.  He played another 43 snaps on the field goal/PAT unit on special teams.

2007 (Fr.)-Redshirted; practiced the entire fall on the offensive line.  He dressed for all but one game, as he possibly could have been activated to play if injuries dictated so.

HIGH SCHOOL-A three-year starter at two different high schools at offensive tackle, he was named first-team All-CIF Southern Section (Pac-5 Division), All-Orange County and All-South Coast League as a senior.  He was also named second-team All-State and was his team's Lineman of the Year and Big Hitter of the Year (presented to the one with the most pancake blocks). He racked up 56 pancakes as a senior and did not allow a sack on the season. As a junior at Santa Margarita High School, he was named second-team All-Serra League and was his team's Lineman of the Year. He tallied 30 pancakes on the season and allowed just one sack. He also started every game as a sophomore. His top game as a senior came against Long beach Jordan when he recorded sic pancake blocks in the victory. Against Orange Lutheran in his junior season, he went up against USC-bound defensive end Michael Reardon and tallied three pancake blocks without allowing a sack.  Under coach Bob Johnson, MVHS went 9-3 his senior year, making it to the second round of the playoffs.  Santa Margarita was 5-6 his sophomore and junior seasons. 

ACADEMICS-He is majoring in Communication and is earning a minor in Business at Colorado.  

PERSONAL-Born March 3, 1989, in Mission Viejo, Calif.  His hobbies include playing golf and video games; he is also very active with his local church, Saddleback Community.  His stepfather owns a commercial real estate company called Pacific Point Partners, and he would like to get into real estate after college.
