His largest box-score season came in 2023 with Michigan State. Those numbers show where he fit, how often the ball or action found him, and how his role developed over time.

The value of the career arc is that it connects production to role, not just a name on a roster. His career also includes 442 receiving yards and 3 tackles, giving the story more than a single-category snapshot. With 40 career games in the available record, his career has enough shape to show both opportunity and production across Michigan State and UConn.
