Standing in at 6-foot 203-pounds, he appeared in 44 games over five seasons in Palo Alto. Over his five-year career he recorded 213 tackles, 11.0 tackles-for-loss, 1.5 sacks, one interception, 13 pass breakups, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.

He marks the fifth Stanford player that was elected in the 2023 NFL Draft, which was good enough for Stanford to rank second in the conference in terms of players selected.
