There are many edge rushers in the NFL making names for themselves; Marcus Davenport of UTSA, now with the Saints, Trey Hendrickson of the Bengals, Von Miller (Rams), Nick Boss (49ers), Cam Jordan (Saints) and DeMarcus Lawrence of our Profile Series subject's favorite team, The Dallas Cowboys.
He had a great game against United and United South, hence his nomination, and he comes from a great family, his uncle played for us at an elementary school who wears crimson and gold, his mom is an important person in her own right and his granddad was a great athlete and community leader.
