2007 Football Season:
3 year starter for Booker T. Washington (TN). Started both ways as a junior and collected 68 tackles at defensive tackle and only gave up "2 or 3" sacks on the offensive side of the ball.

Why Top 40 in Football:
"I think I should be on the preseason list because I work hard and have a good attitude. I do not care what anybody says to me. I do not let them get me down. I just keep working hard to get to the next level."

Tennessee:
"I picked Tennessee because I feel like they are family with Coaches Atkins and Fulmer. They were the first school to start recruiting me, and the atmosphere is real friendly. It just feels like I belong there."

Spring Visits: Ole Miss and Memphis

Summer Camps: Tennessee, Alabama, and Ole Miss

Tell us something nobody else knows: "I am really a shy person. I do not go out. I keep it to myself. I do not like to talk a lot. I make good grades to show people I do my work. It feels great to get out of Memphis where all of the gang banging is going on. It is real peaceful over here in (Olive Branch) Mississippi. Everybody respects the next person. I love it over here."
