He committed to Eastern Michigan but struggled as a freshman, averaging 5.8 minutes per game.
As a sophomore, he decided to attend Tallahassee Community College with the hopes of attracting Division I offers after the season ended.
His plan worked. He played in all 33 games in Tallahassee, averaging 4.8 points and 4.2 rebounds per game.
Coastal Carolina plays in the Sun Belt Conference. The Chanticleers went 16-17 this season.
