The senior co-captain was one of the most reliable players for Meridian in 2019. He was the rock at right tackle all season, and really stood out as their best offensive lineman. Defensively, he led his team in tackles for loss and was second on the team in total tackles. As an outside linebacker, he was great at reading plays before most other players and making tackles on inside runs. But, he was equally as good as a down lineman when the situation called for it. He was named All-Conference 1st Team at offensive line.
