Previous Experience
Gaffney, S.C.
Gained invaluable experience on one of college football’s biggest stages when he was forced into a starting role in his first collegiate game due to an injury to three-year starter Scott Suttle prior to last season’s opener at Michigan ... with Suttle’s graduation, Irvin assumes the starting center position on a full-time basis in ‘08 ... like his predecessor, Irvin is a undersized, athletic lineman who relies on toughness and quickness to beat larger opponents.
2007: Appeared in 14 games, making two starts (one at center, one at tight end) ... received the starting nod in season opener at Michigan due to injury to starting center Scott Suttle ... did not disappoint in first collegiate game, as he made 72 snaps in the win at the Big House and was credited with 10 knockdowns and an impressive 76-percent grade ... saw playing time diminish with Suttle’s return to the starting lineup the following week ... moved back into a prominent role in week seven versus Georgia Southern when he earned the start and participated in 22 snaps as a blocking tight end ... went on to see significant minutes at TE in each of the remaining four regular-season contests ... graded out at 70 percent or higher in 9-of-12 graded appearances.
2006: Redshirted.
High School: Helped lead Gaffney to a pair of S.C. 4A Big 16 state championships (2003 and ‘05) ... played in 2005 Shrine Bowl ... consensus first-team all-state and all-region honoree ... played center as a prep.
