The 6-foot-5, 225-pound game-wrecker, as his coach Nick Sorrell described him, was the highest-ranked District 5-6 recruit, based on 247 Sports rankings. He recorded 4.5 sacks, and averaged 3.8 tackles per game as a senior.
He was one of just 13 Idaho prospects to receive a three-star rating.
The Broncos qualified for the College Football Playoffs but lost in round two, following a first-round bye, to Penn State.
