He is described as being six feet, two inches tall, with brown hair and eyes and weighing 170 pounds.

He was last seen wearing blue jeans with torn knees, a yellow t-shirt with a black, zippered hooded sweatshirt, and blue, flat-bottom shoes.

School officials noted that there may be increased law enforcement activity on campus related to this situation.
