2015-16: Finished his final season on the court earning a 2016 All-ODAC First Team selection along with taking home the 2016 ODAC Player of the Year award…Senior forward led the Hornets to their first ODAC Championship since 1979… Averaged 16.2 points while also leading the team in rebounding at 8.0 per game…Joined the 1,000 point club on December 20, 2015 against LaGrange College…Ranks ninth all-time scoring 1322 in his four seasons…finished third in program history in total blocks and blocked shots in a season.
2014-2015: With a third-team selection in the rearview mirror, the junior stepped up with a Second-Team All-ODAC selection…he played in every game and started them all as well…he was a force down low, defensively and offensively…averaged a career-high two blocks per game (eighth highest total in program history) with 53 (fifth highest total)…scored 13.4 points per game and grabbed seven rebounds a game…used his perfect game in the post to dominate and score in double-figures in 21 games…the coaching staff will look for him to cut down on his fouls and add even more in his final season on campus, and with graduations around the conference, he will look to be the best forward in the conference.
2013-14: After losing players in the post to graduation, the sophomore stepped up admirably and was named to the All-ODAC third-team… Played in every game and started all but one of them… Had great averages of 12.6 points and 7.1 rebounds per game… Also showed off his defensive skills after averaging nearly a block a game… Scored his career-high of 24 points in a win over Washington and Lee University late in the year that solidified the Hornets as a top-four team in the ODAC… Great leader and hard-worker who the coaches will lean on more as a junior and expect even bigger things from him.
2012-13: Scrappy forward who played both the four and five in his first year… Played in every game, averaging 5.4 points and 4.8 rebounds… Scored a season-high 14 points twice, against Roanoke and Virginia Wesleyan… Battles for everything in the post, using his intelligence to help him succeed, including taking over 10 charges on the year… Will have a larger role in his second season at Lynchburg.
Before LC: Three-year starter for Waynesboro High School… Helped the Little Giants advance to the state championship as a junior… As a senior earned several accolades: second-team all-state, region player of the year, and district player of the year.
