Put in a lot of hard work to get ready for the 2008 season and saw it pay off … Started every game at tackle, playing nearly 600 plays … Finished second on the team with 13 quarterback hurries and contributed 6.5 tackles for loss, including three sacks … Carried the same work ethic into 2009 spring workouts … Did a nice job of keeping his weight in check … Got a lot of work and practiced hard … Will be counted on for leadership and a big senior season.
