(Boys Town, Neb. – Nebraska-Omaha) 2011 (Sophomore): Entering Week 14, ranks tied for fourth in the MW at 8.1 tackles per game…Immediately eligible because Nebraska-Omaha disbanded its football program, has quickly adapted to the CSU defensive scheme, playing in 11 games with 10 starts…Made his Division I debut in the opener at New Mexico (Sept. 3), entering late in the first quarter; with just over four minutes left in the game, and CSU protecting a 14-10 lead, combined with C.J. James to sack Tarean Austin on fourth-and- 14…A week later in a big win vs. Northern Colorado (Sept. 10), earned his first major-college start, as the Rams’ middle linebacker…Broke up a UNC pass on the second play from scrimmage, then forced a third-quarter incompletion, hurrying the pass by launching himself at the quarterback…Started again at MLB in Denver loss vs. Colorado (Sept. 17), making a key play on a first-quarter drive to flush QB Tyler Hansen out of the pocket and into the arms of teammate C.J. James; also played defensive end during several snaps in the second half…Paramount in exhilarating win at Utah State (Sept. 24), earned Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week honors after helping the Rams pull back into the contest in the second half, then win it in double-overtime, 35-34…Gave life to the Rams with USU up 14-3 in the third quarter, scooping up a Michael Smith fumble in the backfield and returning it 15 yards for his first career touchdown, then on the next series sacked QB Chuckie Keeton, rushing from a DE position, to force a punt...Earlier against Aggies, made a leaping pass deflection to prevent a possible TD and finished with a team-leading 14 tackles…Made another game-changing play in 38-31 loss vs. San Jose State (Oct. 1), with the Spartans driving into CSU territory in a 31-31 game and eight minutes remaining in the fourth quarter; sacked QB Matt Faulkner and launched a fumble high in the air, before teammate Davis Burl recovered to set up the Rams at the Spartans’ 45; replay officials reviewed the play and upheld the call…In first quarter of loss vs. No. 5 Boise State (Oct. 15), slipped into backfield and stopped RB Doug Martin for no gain on fourth-and-3 from the CSU 17…On one first-quarter drive in loss at UNLV (Oct. 29), posted a tackle for loss on each of the first two snaps, then on the third play picked off QB Sean Reilly and returned the INT, the first of his career, 52 yards for a go-ahead touchdown; became the first CSU player to score twice on defense in a season since Luke Adkins, who returned two interceptions for touchdowns, in 2004…Had 14 tackles in windy, 18-15 loss vs. San Diego State (Nov. 12), helping to limit the nation’s second-leading rusher, Ronnie Hillman, to just 80 yards; nearly intercepted a pass in the end zone in the first quarter…In loss vs. Air Force (Nov. 26), alertly pounced on a loose ball in the first quarter, but after his recovery, officials ruled the pass incomplete.
