A three-time Atlantic 10 Player of the Week, his career point total is also the third-most of any player in A-10 Conference history. He also ranks 10th all-time in rebounding at GW with 712 career boards, making him one of just four players to be inside the program's career Top 10 in both scoring and rebounding.
