A three-time captain and three-time team MVP, he graduated as the program’s 14th all-time leading scorer with 1,181 points and set school records for three-pointers made in a career (201) and in a season (76). He earned All-MAC recognition during his collegiate career and was also noted for his academic performance, including Dean’s List and Academic All-MAC honors.
