Bio
Mayo Clinic Comeback Player of the Year (2018)
Lester R. Godwin Award (2019 team award)
Granted a fifth year of eligibility due to a medical hardship … Phil Steele 2020 Preseason All-Ivy League Third Team.
SENIOR (2019) | Game-by-Game Stats
Named the team’s Lester R. Godwin Award winner as the senior who, through extraordinary perseverance, has risen above personal disadvantage to contribute measurably to the team … played in every game as a reserve on the defensive line, recording 26 tackles, 2.5 for a loss with one sack … enjoyed his best game of the fall in the Ivy League opener, collecting a career-best five stops, three of which came behind the line of scrimmage (two on consecutive plays) including a 6-yard sack of the Penn quarterback in a 28-15 triumph … also had a QB hurry on third down that led to a 3-yard loss and forced the Quakers to punt early in the fourth quarter with the outcome still undecided … had a pair of solo stops in the 42-10 homecoming win over Yale … forced a fumble inside the Big Green 5 that Dartmouth recovered during a 59-24 drubbing of Columbia … matched his career best with five tackles against Cornell, the last of which came on third down and allowed the Green to get the ball back one more time in an attempt to rally against the Big Red … ended the season with another five stops at Brown and came up big in the fourth quarter … first made another third-down stop to force a punt that set up the game-winning touchdown, then helped preserve that lead by dropping a receiver for no gain in the game’s final minutes.
JUNIOR (2018) | Game-by-Game Stats
Miraculously returned to football field to contribute to the Big Green efforts after having a brain tumor removed the year prior … about 90 percent of the tumor, which had been pressing against his hearing and balancing nerves, was removed … surgery took out his balancing nerve, forcing him to learn to walk again and causing him to lose the hearing in his left ear … one of three players across all levels of NCAA football to be named an inaugural Mayo Clinic Comeback Player of the Year … played in all 10 games as a reserve defensive lineman, contributing 11 tackles to the staunch Dartmouth defense … he saved his biggest game for the biggest stage in the battle of unbeaten, nationally ranked Ivy teams when Dartmouth traveled to Princeton … made a season-high four tackles in the game, including a half-sack for which he was credited with a safety that gave the Big Green a 9-7 lead at the half … also recovered a Tiger fumble near midfield … brought down three Pioneers, one for a 3-yard loss, in the 42-0 shutout win over Sacred Heart as well.
