He’s qualified because: One of the best two-way linemen in the history of an accomplished program, he was the County/Metro Athletic Conference Outstanding Lineman and returns to The Bee All-Star team after making it in 2007.

In addition to playing defensive end, he was also a force at right offensive tackle for a team that produced two 1,000-yard rushers while reaching the Central Section Division II semifinals.

The word: “I wanted to split him in half and make two of him; gosh, he had a great year. He’s strong, plays hard and fast, and is just a real competitor in big games. He was a good drive blocker in a run-oriented offense. And, on defense, he split double teams, stretched plays and rushed the passer. He did everything right. He has committed to Fresno State, but other schools are still after him.” — Apaches coach Chuck Shidan.
