A dynamic senior that plays much bigger than his actual size. No fear, as is evident from his play at inside linebacker. Was Nooksack Valley’s second leading tackler, and also the leader in interceptions, which included an amazing pick-six off of a middle screen pass against Oak Harbor. His three sacks placed him fourth on the team in that category. An underrated running back, and one of the best receiving backs in the county. Had an awesome touchdown reception at Mount Baker.
