As a senior, he was a First-team SEC pick and Second-team All-American, he finished second in University of Alabama history with 23 sacks. His 25 tackles for a loss tied Leroy Cook (1972–75) for second place on the school’s career-record list behind Kindal Moorehead’s record of 34 (1998–2002). He was a public relations major.
