A freshman who was named the Georgia State class 5A Player of the Year in 2007 ... Coaches believe he is going to be a really good player, and is a solid No. 2 catcher behind starter Anthony Sosnoskie ... Will look to get innings mid-week, hopefully progressing enough to where he can spell Sosnoskie on weekends ... A strong player with a chance to be good offensively ... Needs to work on his receiving, but coaches are very happy with his arm strength and transfer ... Had a lot of success at the high school level and is adjusting physically to the pace of college baseball.

He tallied 18 doubles on the year, giving him Walton's single-season and career records in the category ... He also ranks among the school's top three all-time in hits, RBIs and home runs ... In addition to his state player of the year accolades, was also tabbed the Cobb County Player of the Year and a first-team selection by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution ...
