Bio
WHY LEHIGH? “Lehigh has always been a household name for me. My mother graduated in 1989 and was always pushing for me to consider attending. As soon as I stepped foot on Lehigh's campus during my visit with Coach Reed, I knew it was the place for me.”
AS A SOPHOMORE (2021-22): Did not see action due to injury.
AS A FRESHMAN (2020-21): Did not see action due to injury ... Named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll.
BEFORE LEHIGH: Four-year varsity player, three-year starter and two-year captain at Germantown Academy … Led team in rebounding both junior and senior years (averaging 8.5) … Averaged 14.8 points per game as a senior, 12.4 as a junior, 10.5 as a sophomore and 8.0 as a freshman … Was a two-time MVP recipient at the annual State College Holiday Tournament (2018 and 2019) … Averaged 11 points and six rebounds per game on the UAA circuit as a junior … Played AAU basketball with DC Premier UAA and CT Elite … Ranked as a "Top Ten Wing" in PA by Rivals Sports … Along with basketball, was the quarterback of the football team as a freshman before getting injured and ultimately stopped playing football … In the classroom, finished with honors … Was a chair of both a local Christian faith club and a Black students club … Also founded an entrepreneurship club alongside a friend … Served as chair of community-based volunteer service that aims to help under-privileged youth with pressing problems of police brutality, mass incarceration, drug abuse, budgeting skills and growing up with a single parent.
