Academics: Named Mountain West All-Academic in 2022.

2023 (Sophomore Season): Was the starting place kicker for all 12 games, and he kicked off in 11 of the 12 games … was second on the team in scoring with 67 points, going 10-for-14 on field goals with a long of 47 yards, and 37-for-38 on extra points (the one miss being a blocked kick) … was 9-for-10 in kicks inside of 45 yards … hit his opening field goal of the season from 27 yards at Texas A&M … went 8-for-8 on extra points against Tennessee Tech … connected on a pair of field goals, from 26 and 39 yards, against Wyoming … made a pair of 38-yard field goals in a 25-17 win over Fresno State … hit his only field goal, a career-long 47-yarder on a bitingly cold night at Nevada … hit two field goals including the game-tying 22-yard kick with four seconds left against Utah State in the finale, adding a field goal in overtime as well … recorded 20 touchbacks on 52 kickoffs during the season in his first year as the full-time kickoff taker.

2022 (Freshman Season): Saw action as the starting kicker in seven games, and played in eight … led the team in scoring with 36 points, becoming the first true freshman to lead the team in scoring since 1985 (Jim Bibbo) … had a terrific season, going 10-for-14 on field goals and a perfect 6-for-6 on extra points … hit his first career field goal attempt, from 37 yards, against UTEP in his first start at kicker … lost his job but returned as the starting kicker against New Mexico State, and he went on to hit seven straight field goals … went 3-for-3 against New Mexico State, hitting from 44, 33 and 41 yards … went 3-for-3 in his next game against Fresno State, hitting from 29, 24 and 33 yards … connected from 31 yards against Utah State for a seventh straight field goal before just missing wide right from 53 yards at the end of the half, which would have tied the UNM record for longest road field goal … bounced back and connected from 39 yards against both Air Force and San Diego State … missed his only attempt, from 46 yards at the end of the half, against Colorado State.
