Outlook:
Emerged into one of the nation's top safeties in 2007, and looks to continue his growth into a game-changer as a senior in 2008 ... Should be a pre-season favorite to challenge for national awards and honors at the free safety position, and he's already been named in the spring to the pre-season watch lists for both the Nagurski Award and the Lott Trophy ... Did not participate in spring drills this year due to off-season shoulder surgery he had following the Cotton Bowl to repair torn labrum in a shoulder he suffered in the bowl game while he was winning the game's defensive MVP award ... Didn't actually know about the injury until after he returned to campus for second semester classes, when he had continuing pain in shoulder during winter weight-lifting sessions, and after examination, the injury was discovered ... Will be completely healthy when fall camp opens in August ... Is considered by some as the best pure athlete on the team ... With 10 career interceptions, needs 6 more to break the school career record of 15 held by Adrian Jones (1986-89) ... Is tied for the school career record for interceptions returned for TD (3, along with Erik McMillan), and needs one more to hold the record for himself ... Off the field, is a very talented musician who has recorded some tracks in the rap genre, and has performed with Mizzou men's basketball player Leo Lyons.
