CLEVELAND, OH. – The basketball season has kicked off for the Blue Streaks and they continue to stack the accolades in their first week of competition.

He became a valuable contributor for JCU to shoot 61% from the field and 50% beyond the arc.

In their second matchup against Pitt Bradford, he had six assists and tallied nine points to help the Blue & Gold start out 2-0 on the year.

It was an impressive start for the junior out of Bay Village, Ohio.
