HIGH SCHOOLGÇöA two-year starter at offensive tackle, he earned All-District 26-6A honors as a junior and senior; he was the San Antonio co-offensive lineman of the year and an area All-Star team selection as a senior as well. He had a stellar senior season, as he allowed just one quarterback sack and just a handful of pressures while being called for just four penalties; he had numerous touchdown and downfield blocks for Churchill, which ran a balanced offense. On defense, he was a backup performer on the line (usually the nose guard spot); he was in on 10 tackles along with five hurries, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and half a sack; he was primarily used in situations against the run. He played exclusively on offense as a junior, and was on the junior varsity as a freshman and sophomore (offensive tackle, defensive line). Under coach Ron Harris, Churchill was 6-5 his senior year, and the Chargers were 8-3 his junior year under coach Glenn Hill (they were knocked out of the playoffs both years by an eventual state semifinalist). He also lettered once in track (throws) and played two years of junior varsity basketball as a freshman and sophomore (center/power forward).
