tight end....one of five players to start every game for New<br />
Mexico in 2011...an Academic All-Mountain West honoree in the<br />

red zone-target...has made good strides in his blocking at the line<br />
of scrimmage and creates match-up problems for smaller DBs as a<br />
downfield receiver...will only get better as he continues to grow into<br />
his frame and his strength improves...a late bloomer in high school<br />
