  HIGH SCHOOL?A SuperPrep All-Midlands performer, he was ranked as the No. 64 overall player and the 15th offensive lineman in the region.  Rivals.com ranked him as the No. 24 overall prospect in the state of Colorado.  A two-way starter on offense (right tackle) and defense (tackle), he earned first-team all-state (4A) honors by both the Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News as a senior while garnering first-team all-Jeffco League honors as junior and senior (he was second-team all-state as a junior).  Offensively, he had 41 pancakes blocks as a senior and had 25 his junior year.  On defense, he had 36 tackles as a senior and 32 as a junior, when he also had an interception.  One of his career highlights was an exception game he played as a junior in a 19-17 win over ThunderRidge, a game in which all expected Green Mountain to be dominated.  He played just his junior and senior years as a prep (sat out his entire sophomore season with a broken foot), lettering both years under coach Kevin Rice.  Green Mountain was 6-5 his senior year, losing in the second round of the playoffs, and was 6-6 his junior season.  He played basketball through his sophomore year and also lettered in wrestling and track (throws); he finished third in the state in the discus and 10th in the state in the shot put as a junior, with designs on higher finishes this spring as a senior.

  ACADEMICS?He is undecided on a major but is interested in business at Colorado.  He owns a 2.8 grade point average in high school.

  PERSONAL?Born February 15, 1988 in Denver, Colo.  His hobbies include cooking, playing sports and “messing around with computers.”  In high school, he was a band “roadie,” regularly helping the Green Mountain school band move equipment before and after shows.
