Bio
A 2020 junior college transfer who steadily increased his playing time during his career in Stillwater to earn a starting spot by the time he was finished ... Factored into the rotation at linebacker throughout his career.

His 29 total tackles on the year ranked ninth on the team and were more than multiple everyday starters, despite him rotating in on defense ...

His safety came in the first quarter of the season-opening win over Central Michigan and his forced fumble came in the win over Texas Tech ...

Had at least one tackle in 10 games.
2021 (Junior): Played in 13 games, only missing the season opener ... Totaled four tackles on the year, all of which were solo stops ...
