Perhaps the most powerful 165-pounder in Whatcom County. Tough to bring down as a runner, and always picks up positive yards. A go-to kind of back when you need to pick up short yardage, but then showed bursts of speed on longer runs. Completely disruptive in the run game when playing on the defensive line. Had no issues going up against kids nearly 100 pounds more than him.
