BIO

Made good progress last season and has been a parttime starter … Plays with a high motor, bringing energy and enthusiasm to the field … One of the nation’s top 100 junior-college prospects in 2008 … Has played in 23 games, including five starts … Took a redshirt year in junior college, so he has another season of eligibility remaining.

2010 (Junior): Played in 10 games with five starts … Totaled 24 tackles, including 4.5 tackles for loss and two sacks … Career high in tackles vs. Charleston Southern with seven … Was part of a defensive frontline that allowed only two yards rushing in the second half to South Carolina … Had four tackles, a sack and 2.5 TFL at Ole Miss.

2009 (Sophomore): Played in all 13 games … Made 16 tackles, with a season high of five vs. Tennessee … Had a five-yard tackle for loss in the Music City Bowl … Also broke up two passes during the season.

Community College … In 2008 he played in eight games, totaling 41 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss and one pass breakup … Had 6.5 quarterback sacks – an excellent number for a defensive tackle – leading the team in that category and ranking sixth in the Jayhawk Conference … Ranked No. 27 among the nation’s top junior-college players by SuperPrep and No. 69 by Rivals.com … Coached by Darian Dulin … “Mark’s strengths are his ‘get off the ball’ (quickness) and ability to anticipate the snap count,” Dulin said. “He plays with a high motor and is hard to block. He uses his hands well, has good punch and runs well for an inside guy.”
