The 2023 Buck Buchanan Award winner joins a Green Wave defense that ranked second in the American Athletic Conference, allowing 20.5 points per contest and allowing opponents to score 30 or more points just twice on the season.
The unit also was third in sacks with 35, forced the second most fumbles in the conference with 12, and had 17 interceptions, which paced the AAC.
