HIGH SCHOOL: All-New Jersey fullback selection as a senior … team captain as a senior, leading Highland Park to the state championship … scored 13 touchdowns his senior year … rushed for 125 yards, including a 35-yard touchdown in the championship game … also a three-letter winner in track, competing in the shot put and running on the sprint relay team.
