State...won the Dedication Award for offensive players for his work in the weight room.

2009: Played 184 snaps and had three carries and two receptions...had 17 snaps and five knockdown blocks in the win over Kentucky in the Music City Bowl, he received great attention for his blocking in that game from the ESPN announcers...had three kickoff returns in 2009 on short kicks as opponents tried to avoid first-team All-America return specialist C.J. Spiller...had two rushes for five yards against Wake Forest...consistently received film grades in the 80s from his coaches for his blocking.

2008: Played 162 snaps, but did not carry the ball on a running play; he was a lead blocker for many first downs gained by James Davis and C.J. Spiller...touched the ball three times; he had a six-yard catch against The Citadel, an 11-yard kickoff return against N.C. State, and a 13-yard kickoff return against #24 Florida State...had 18 knockdown blocks, including a season-high five against S.C. State...a key to Clemson's running-game success against South Carolina when he played 33 snaps...had four starts, all away from home...played 12 snaps as a reserve against Nebraska in the Gator Bowl.

2007: Red-shirted...his year was cut short by a broken leg suffered against Furman, as he received a medical red-shirt...played just eight snaps on offense in three games, but he was a valuable special teams player.
