As a senior in 2003, he was in on 91 tackles, 23 tackles for a loss, and 15 sacks helping his team to an undefeated record and the state private-school championship. "He was a big gangly kid who had yet to grow into his body," said John Blake, the St. Anne’s-Belfield coach. "But he jumped in with both feet. When he played tackle, he would drive kids 10 or 15 yards down the field, like he was steering a car." Wikipedia
