High School: Was selected to the NC/SC Shrine Bowl his senior year after recording nine catches for 152 yards and three touchdowns his senior season at Dorman ... Was the team's MVP on offense ... Named to the 2006 Palmetto Champions All-Star Team as the Upper State Lineman of the Year by the South Carolina Football Coaches Association (SCFCA) ... Earned all-region honors as a tight end his last two seasons ... Caught seven passes as a junior with five of them good for touchdowns ... Also saw some action at wide receiver, fullback and defensive end ... Played three seasons for Coach Dave Gutshall ... Won all the school's blocking awards as a junior and senior ... Listed as the No. 25 overall player on the South Carolina 35 by SuperPrep ... Rated the No. 29 player in the state of South Carolina by Scout ... A member of the SuperPrep Mid-Atlantic Team ...
