The Tampa, Florida native spent four seasons at North Carolina State, where he appeared in 45 games for the Wolfpack. In that span, he recorded 107 total tackles, 16 tackles for loss and six quarterback sacks.

He's cousins with former NFL receiver Tyrie Cleveland, who played three seasons for the Denver Broncos.
