He played for Dayton College from 2021-2024 where he averaged 20.4 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 2.6 assists on 54/39/71 shooting from the field in 2024.
His career highlights in college include Consensus second-team All-American in 2024, Atlantic 10 co-Player of the Year in 2024, 2x First-team All-Atlantic 10 in 2023 and 2024, Second-team All-Atlantic 10 in 2022, Atlantic 10 Defensive Player of the Year in 2024, and Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year in 2022.
