1990 Media Guide: A solid player who will play behind Jeff Ellis, or could be in the hunt for a starting position if Ellis is unable to return from a knee injury that idled him almost all of last year … has the best speed of the tight ends … played in all 12 games last year as a backup … also a valuable member of the specialty teams … appears to be fully recovered from a broken leg suffered in the spring of 1987 … hard working and enthusiastic.
1989: Played a total of 99 minutes … had a 28-yard reception against Wisconsin, his first collegiate grab.

1988: Played in 10 games for a total of 40 minutes … did not catch a pass.
