Also stepped onto the field against Georgia State (8 plays), Utah, Washington State and TCU ... Initiated a change to the defensive front prior to the start of the 2016 spring in order to enhance his chances of making a larger on-field contribution ... Credited with a tackle-for-loss among his three solo tackles in the 2016 Spring Game.
2014 - Injuries have become his biggest deterrent from stepping onto the field his first two years despite possessing the physical tools needed to compete at the collegiate level.
2013 - The redshirt preserved four years of eligibility while acquiring experience at the collegiate level on the program’s scout team.

Credited with 20 unassisted tackles among his 47 stops, along with a quartet of quarterback sacks, one forced fumble and one pass deflection ... Offensively, paved the way for a team that ran for an average of 313.1 yards per game in 2011 and averaged 369.3 yards on the ground his senior year ... Helped lead the Aggies to a 10-1 record his senior year for head coach Dan Barnson while paving the way for a team that remained unbeaten until losing in the regional playoff semifinals ...
