David is currently a fifth-year senior at the
University of Central Florida. He was
redshirted his freshman year due to a torn
ACL. He had it repaired 9/7/06 and has played
every game since. He played special teams his
RS FR year, and since then he has been the
starting strongside DE.
An
interesting piece of trivia:
David had a knee injury before his senior year
of football. His high school trainer
assumed that it was his LCL. His leg got better
and he accomplished the following:
Top 20 at Nike Combine in Athens, GA 2005
First Place SC Strength Competition
2005 (benching 400, squatting 580 in
high school)
Played entire senior year of football
Played 2005 Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas
Got to UCF June of 2006 and set some records in
the weight room... The 3rd day of pre-season
camp, David's knee started slip (ping. After
pre-season camp was over, David had an MRI done
on his knee. The MRI showed he had completely
severed his ACL back before his senior year in
high school! We just thought it was his LCL,
not his ACL!
David now holds the following records for DE's
at UCF:
Bench 505
Squat 620
Vertical Jump: 40 inches
Pro Bench: 225 pounds x 35 reps
David will graduate in May with his Criminal
Justice Degree, Minor in Coaching; though
he will continue on for his last year of
collegiate football while taking graduate
courses.
