AT COLORADO: Career—He finished his career tied for third in career pass deflections (36) at Colorado, as well as tied for 68th in total tackles (201), the 20th defensive back in school history to record 200 career tackles.
2015 (Sr.)—He started all 13 games at right cornerback in playing the second-most snaps on defense (855); he recorded 46 tackles on the year (40 solo, one for a loss), 10th on the team and the fourth highest by a defensive back. He led the team in pass deflections (13) and third down stops (11), along with adding three touchdown saves, a tackle for zero, a fumble recovery, a quarterback chasedown (near-sack) and an interception, the latter coming against Colorado State. He matched his career-high of 10 tackles (eight solo) against Massachusetts, when he also recovered a fumble, also recording seven stops (all solo) at Arizona State and six against CSU (with two passes broken up and two third down stops). He had a season-high three pass deflections at Washington State, as he had at least one in nine games. He played in the East-West Shrine Game after the season, and he was a preseason second-team All-Pac-12 selection by Phil Steele’s College Football (third-team by Athlon Sports).
2014 (Jr.)—He started 11 games at right cornerback (and played in all 12). He was in for 810 snaps from scrimmage, second-most on the defense (and for all but 34 plays), as he played every snap in nine games. He finished sixth on the team in tackles with 47 (41 solo, two for losses), and was second on the team in both passes broken up (13) and third down stops (9, one on fourth down); he also had a forced fumble. He had a season-high nine tackles against Hawai’i, all unassisted to match his career-high in solo stops, with three third down stops. He also racked up eight tackles against Oregon State (six solo) and Arizona (all solo) and had a career-best four passes broken up at California. He had another four tackles on special teams coverage (three solo, two inside-the-20). He suffered a fractured finger in the fourth spring practice session and was limited for the most part thereafter, but did return in full for the spring game (where had had four tackles and two pass deflections).
2013 (Soph.)—He played in 11 games, starting 10, as he missed the UCLA game after tweaking an ankle in practice two days prior. In 761 snaps from scrimmage, he was in on 50 tackles (38 solo, two for losses and one for zero gain), also making eight third down stops and five pass deflections. He made two interceptions, both in the end zone and both in the final minute to all but end the Central Arkansas and California games; he also had a team-high nine touchdown saves. He had a season-high seven tackles against Cal and USC, and had six stops against Charleston Southern and Washington.
2012 (Fr.)— He earned honorable mention All-Pac 12 honors from the league coaches and honorable mention freshman All-American honors from collegefootballnews.com. He saw action in 11 games, including 10 starts (he did not dress for the Stanford game due to illness). He played the second most snaps at the time by a true freshman on defense in CU history, seeing action for 642 plays from scrimmage (second only to elder teammate Greg Henderson, who played 823 in 2011); the 82 plays he was in for against Washington State were the most ever by a CU freshman in a game (until Addison Gillam topped it a year later). He was in on 58 tackles, 46 solo that included three for losses; he also recorded five third down stops, five passes broken up and four touchdown saves. He posted his season and career-high of 10 tackles on two occasions, in the opener against Colorado State (five solo) and in CU’s lone win of the season at Washington State (nine solo, along with two pass deflections). He also had eight stops against Sacramento State and UCLA (seven solo each time). He also led the team in punt returns, as he had 12 for 81 yards, averaging 6.8 per.
HIGH SCHOOL—As a senior, SuperPrep ranked him the No. 10 player in the Mid-Atlantic Region, the second defensive back, and also listed him as the No. 2 prospect out of Washington, D.C. ESPN.com slotted him as the No. 18 cornerback in the nation while Rivals.com ranked him the No. 22 corner; MaxPreps ranked him the No. 17 safety in the country.

His career totals playing cornerback and wide receiver included 14 interceptions, three returned for touchdowns.
