The native of Iowa, Louisiana started his career at McNeese and then transferred to Marshall last season. He originally announced he was going to play his final year at Tulane and follow Herd defensive coordinator Lance Guidry to New Orleans.
But before either could ever set foot on the field for a practice, Guidry shifted gears and accepted the defensive coordinator’s job at Miami.
