- Possible left tackle of the future drafted in the fourth round with the 119th overall selection, a pick acquired from Pittsburgh along with a sixth-round choice (192) for Green Bay's fourth-round pick (112)
- Was the 17th offensive lineman selected
- A sort of athletic freak for a lineman his size, has enough speed (4.88 in 40) that he played gunner on the punt team at Missouri Southern State
- Packers hope that movement and agility translates well to handling the premier outside speed rushers in the pros who attack the quarterback's blind side
- A four-year starter at Missouri Southern State, moving into a starting role midway through his freshman season and starting 36 of 38 career games, all but one of the starts at left tackle
- Dominant at the Division II level, was credited with 254 knockdown blocks and 10 career tackles (nine solo) on special teams
- Became the first player from his school invited to the Scouting Combine and the first player from Missouri Southern State drafted by the Packers
- A consensus Division II All-America first-team selection, became his school's first All-American in four years and first one to make the first team in a decade
- A forceful blocker who finishes every play, getting to the second level quickly when needed and showing improvement late in his college career with sustaining blocks
- Works well communicating with the guard on double-teams
- Seen as a potential heir apparent to veteran left tackle Chad Clifton, who begins his eighth year with the Packers at that position but is now five years removed from a serious pelvic injury
- Also viewed by Packers coaches as capable of playing either guard or tackle on either side of the line, providing flexibility as a young backup
- Capable of adding 10 to 15 pounds to his developing frame without sacrificing quickness and athleticism, according to scouting reports
- Impressed Packers coaches at the Scouting Combine with his grasp of X's and O's during an interview session
- Will require a lot of hard work to refine his technique, coming from a small school, but is eager to take on the challenge of making that big step from Division II to the NFL
- Majored in criminal justice
- A consensus Division II All-America first-team selection by The NFL Draft Report, Associated Press, American Football Coaches Association and D2football.com
- Became school's first All-American since Josh Chapman in 2002, ninth overall and first to be named first-team since Richard Jordan in 1996, and fifth offensive lineman to be named first-team, joining Terron Jackson (1972), Willie Williams (1976), Joel Tupper (1982) and Yancy McNight (1995)
- Finished with a career-high 94 knockdowns at left tackle and excelled as a gunner on punt coverage, making seven solo tackles
- Was the lone offensive player to be a unanimous All-Mid American Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) first-team pick
- Started 11 games at left offensive tackle, leading the way as the offense generated 3,461 yards, an average of 314.6 yards per game, coming up with thirteen touchdown-resulting blocks, as the offense scored 31 times
- Helped lead an offensive line that saw quarterback Adam Hinspeter become just the second passer in school history to throw for 2,000 yards twice in a career
- Graded out at 87.45% for blocking consistency
- Registered a season-high 14 knockdowns and a 98% grade vs. Southwest Baptist
- Earned first-team All-MIAA and third-team All-Southwest Region honors and was named league's Offensive Lineman of the Week five times
- Won the team's Dudley Stegge Award as the Lions' Offensive Lineman of the Year
- Only one-half sack of the 31 sacks allowed by the offensive line was credited to left tackle
- Registered 73 knockdowns to help offense average 376.9 yards per game
- Got a rare chance to put points on the board himself, scoring on a 4-yard TD run for the first score in MSSU's 41-17 defeat of Truman State (Oct. 1). The play, for which the Lions employed a formation utilizing all offensive linemen, was run as a tribute to late head coach John Ware, a former offensive lineman who had died just four days prior
- Appeared in 10 games, starting the final nine at left tackle
- Missed the season opener vs. Bacone College with a fall camp ankle sprain, but reclaimed starting left tackle spot by the third game
