Quoting Coach Pflugrad: "He needs to become more consistent. We need to get big plays out of him in big games. I like the fact that he is gaining a little bit of weight, not a whole bunch, but a little bit; because we can't get to the point where we've got to keep taking him out when they are running the football.
"He's as good of an athlete as we have on our football team. If he can stop the run and continue to improve his pass rush, I think there is no limit for him. I am excited about his potential going into his senior season."
