His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting the limited ball-in-hand role typical of a loosehead at this level, though his best single-game outputs of five carries and seven tackles show he can lift his contribution when called upon. He is a consistent presence in the contact area, logging 31 tackles across 224 minutes of action.
