Coach's Comments
"Recruited by defensive coordinator Clint Brown while at South Dakota State ... Had five to six Missouri Valley offers coming out of high school before choosing to walk-on at Nebraska … Just as explosive now as he was a few years ago … Going to be someone we count on … Very strong and physical … Expected to be a three-down lineman."
