Summary

Biography

2024: Continued his ascent to become arguably PC's top cover man in the secondary, named an All-PFL first teamer thanks to 50 tackles (fourth on the roster), three interceptions, one forced fumble, and 10 pass breakups which tied for the most of anyone in the conference...Started 11 times as a junior and became the first Blue Hose player since 2020 to record three INT's in a single season...Those three picks happened in three consecutive games during the heart of league action, robbing the quarterback against Morehead State, Drake, and Stetson...He'd also force a fumble in the Drake battle, leading the team in turnovers responsible for...Established a new career-high during a 28-7 victory over Dayton at Bailey Memorial Stadium (11/2), grabbing seven stops (six solo)...Notched his third-ever tackle for a loss in a visit to San Diego (10/5), piling up 17 tackles during PC's season-ending four-game winning streak.

2023: Remained a steady presence in Presbyterian's secondary that allowed just 144 passing yards per game (the third-lowest number in FCS football), starting all 11 games as a sophomore and picking up 36 tackles...Broke up three pass attempts against eventual league champion Drake (11/11), recording 78 percent of his stops in solo format...Was responsible for three opponent turnovers, the first of which came on a 32-yard interception return for a touchdown in the home opener versus Virginia-Lynchburg (9/9)...Forced a fumble against San Diego in the penultimate home meeting, later snagging his second INT in the finale against Morehead State (11/18)...That diving catch solidified a PC victory over the Eagles, coming with only 68 seconds on the clock...Tallied four tackles or better in five of the eight matchups against PFL adversaries, also landing a tackle-for-loss in the aforementioned W over MSU.

2022: Played in nine bouts as a true freshman, starting four of them...Recorded 18 tackles as a member of the secondary, posting all but two of them in solo style...Expanded upon a five-tackle performance at Austin Peay (9/3) in his PC debut by putting up 12 more stops over his final four appearances...Tallied a TFL in the aforementioned meeting with the Governors, breaking up a pass attempt in PC's last home outing vs. Dayton (11/5).
