Bio
2018-19 (RS Senior): Earned Second-Team All-Conference USA honors ... Started all 33 games and averaged 34.5 minutes ... Broke Dallas Dale's 27-year-old, single-season assists record with 233 ... His 7.2 per game ranked fifth in the nation ... Finished his career with 434 dimes, good for No. 3 all-time despite just two years with the program ... Recorded 65 steals on the year, meaning both him and teammate Cortez Edwards produced four of the top-five such seasons in school history, all over a two-year span ... His backcourt prowess helped lead Southern Miss to boasting the top field goal percentage (47.8), three-point percentage (41.2) and field goal defense (40.4) in C-USA play ... The squad also held the No. 4 mark nationally in assist/turnover ratio (1.6) and No. 14 for assists per game (16.8) and three-point field goal percentage (38.6) ... Averaged 7.6 assists (first) and 2.1 steals (fourth) in league play ... Collected seven 20-point games, including a season-high 23 against Marshall in the C-USA Quarterfinal victory ... Also recorded 15 assists in the 101-51 win over the Herd on Jan. 26, setting a school record for most against a Division I team (third overall) and also serving as the most by a C-USA player against a league foe since 1998 ... Reached double-figures in that category three other times; posting 11 in the Senior Day win over UTSA (March 9) and having 10 more against UAB on Jan. 12 and Feb. 23 ... Helped the team to a big November win at SMU with a 7-for-10 shooting performance (including 4-for-4 on threes, a career-high for makes) ... Had a season-high eight rebounds in a four-point win over South Alabama on Nov. 28.
2017-18 (RS Junior): Started all 34 games, scoring double-figures in 27 contests ... Collected 201 assists, which ranked second in program history (most since Dallas Dale's 222 in the 1991-92 season) ... Also boasted 59 steals, which ranks No. 3 for a single season at the school ... Logged 1,207 minutes, another mark that sits at No. 3 in the record books ... Against C-USA opponents, finished fourth in assists (6.0 pg), fifth in steals (1.9 pg) and fifth in assist-turnover ratio (2.3) ... Had 12 dimes against Rust and 11 at FIU ... Averaged 15.0 ppg and shot 43.1 percent from the field with 5.9 assists per game ... Helped guide the Golden Eagles to their best-shooting season of Doc Sadler's first four years at the helm ... Pulled down a career-high 13 rebounds in the season opener versus SUNO ... Scored 20 or more points eight times, including against UTEP, FAU, North Texas, UAB and Middle Tennessee in league play ... Went 10-for-12 at the foul line against the Mean Green as part of his career-high 29-point contest ... Also had 23 points on 8-for-11 shooting versus defending Sun Belt champion Troy, including a 4-for-5 clip from beyond the arc ... Was 5-for-6 from deep at UAB as well and went 8-for-10 in the win at FAU ... Overall shot 69.7 percent from the foul line.
