Scouting Report
Enters the fall as the top candidate for placekicking duties... a left-footer who made several big kicks for the Deacons last year... seemed to get "over the hump" of lacking game experience last year and settled into being a solid game kicker... coaches would like more consistency from him in putting the ball in the end zone on kickoffs.

2003
Shared placekicking duties with Plackemeier during the season... was the starting placekicker in seven games but saw action in every game handling kickoffs... was 3-of-5 in field goals and 25-of-27 in extra points... scored 34 points on the season -- third-highest on the team... pulled out of the Boston College game after missing his first PAT attempt... did not attempt a field goal until the eighth game of the season at FSU... made his first two attempts -- a 32-yarder in Tallahassee and 37-yarder versus Clemson... had two field goals and a PAT blocked at North Carolina... made a career-long 44-yard field goal versus Connecticut.
