Theย co-winner of Off the Block's National Server of the Year Award, he established a school single-season record with 67 aces on the way to compiling a school career record of 208 aces.

A first-team American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-America selection, he had 13 matches during 2019 with at least three aces and ranked second in the NCAA in service ace average (0.64).
