Pro College Football Player Development and Scouting comments: Has worked with Paul Assad since high school originally as a kicker turning down scholarship offers to play for Rice. He was outstanding but the circumstances at Rice he developed his punting ability while handling the kick offs. Has ability to develop much further. Fast learner with good work ethic. Could be a player to watch as he develops his strength and technique.
UPDATED JULY 11, 2009: Dramatic improvement on kick off power, approach footwork, leveraging from the plant and creating more foot speed thru impact. Working on leg action efficiency wants to use the upper leg muscle groups too much at times and not creating the whip he needs. Improved his kick off's inside 5 and some into the endzone 3.7-3.98 hang time and improved his punting accerleration thru and out impact
