During his time as a standout at Texas A&M, the two-time All-American recorded 31 sacks, 141 tackles and seven forced fumbles.
Cleveland is hoping the 6-foot-4, 272-pounder can immediately improve the team’s pass rush and provide a dynamic force on the defensive side of the ball under defensive coordinator Gregg Williams.
