Earned a roster position as an invited walk-on transfer prior to spring drills in 2017 … Initially opened ECU career as a fullback before moving to defense on a full-time basis during the offseason … Quickness, tenacity and unselfishness enabled development into a special teams stalwart as a junior … Expected to serve similar role as a senior with added situational reps on defensive unit ... Was listed as a linebacker when 2018 preseason camp started, but was quickly moved to the stand-up defensive end position during the opening week of drills to take advantage of athleticism ... Was among unit’s top tacklers during the first spring scrimmage on March 17 with five, including two for lost yardage (-3) … Chipped in with four more stops (1 TFL) in the Purple-Gold Game on March 24.

2017: Credited with six tackles (five solo), which ranked second among all ECU special teams performers … Led the Pirates with four hits on punt returns, while adding two more on kickoff returns … Played in all 12 games … Recorded at least one stop in five contests, which included a personal-best two vs. BYU at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium … Logged single tallies against Virginia Tech, USF, UCF and Memphis.

Junior College: Attended Georgia Military College as a freshman and sophomore, lettering for the Bulldogs’ football program.

High School: Earned three letters for coach Robert Senseney at Knightdale High School … As the program’s featured back, rushed for 800 yards and nine TDs as a junior before eclipsing the 1,300-yard mark (with 12 touchdowns) during senior campaign … Picked up an additional four letters as a track & field standout.
