Although winning a defensive award, the Dunkirk, Maryland native made an imprint on the Mount's offense as well, finishing with 83 rushing yards, 66 receiving yards, and two touchdowns.
 
The Mountaineers began the season 3-0 by outscoring opponents 99-7 over the first three games. They continue the season with two games at Wagner this Saturday, March 7.
