Redshirt Senior Year (2024): Honorable Mention All-ACC ... Appeared in 13 games with 12 starts at left guard ... Played 894 offensive snaps ... Allowed just one sack on 590 passing attempts this season ... Paved the way for LeQuint Allen Jr. to rush for over 1,000 yards ... Helped protect Kyle McCord to set the ACC and Syracuse passing yardage record and for the Orange to lead the nation in passing offense.Â
Redshirt Junior Year (2023): Appeared in every game, starting the first nine games of the year and the bowl game ... Played 555 offensive snaps allowing just four sacks ... Played the first six games of the season at right guard and the rest of the year at left guard ... Helped pave the way for LeQuint Allen to reach the 1,000 yard threshold, marking the third-straight season Syracuse had a back cross the threshold ... When Syracuse turned to a run-focused attack late in the season, he helped pave the way for an offense that finished with over 172 yards per game on the ground.
Redshirt Sophomore Year (2022): Appeared in eight games with one start at guard ... In addition to his play on the offensive line, also blocked on the field goal team ...

Also saw significant offensive time at Boston College (11/26), entering the game at left guard and helping the Orange score 26 unanswered in the fourth quarter to win ... He and the offensive line helped pave the way for Sean Tucker to rush to another 1,000-yard season and become the first player in program history to post back-to-back seasons with 1,000+ rushing yards and 250+ receiving yards ... Part of a unit that allowed the offense to see significant improvements in 2022. Syracuse’s passing efficiency rating upgrade from 108th in the FBS in 2021, to 45th nationally and fourth in the ACC.
