A starter last fall who is one of the most dependable wide receivers on the team...is projected to come off the bench in `06, but coaches say they have a lot of confidence in his ability to step in and contribute...does not have big time speed, but does everything else well... solid hands, runs good routes, grasped the new offense quickly and is a tough, willing blocker...Butte College teammate Brian Ramsay is a Lobo offensive lineman...played on the same high school and JC teams as former Cal standout QB Aaron Rodgers, a 2005 first round draft pick of the Green Bay Packers...caught a 75-yard TD pass from Rodgers against rival Chico HS...was primarily a soccer player, however, lettering all four years for the Vikings...still displays an outstanding leg and could even serve as the team's emergency place kicker for road games this year.
