In his junior year of college at Iowa State he made 26 receptions for 330 yards and six touchdowns.[2] However his senior year was marked with numerous injuries. He only recorded six catches and 47 yards over eight games. Apparently he had a strange form of muscle cramping causing a raised creatine phosphokinase levels which he believes whipped out his chances in the 2014 NFL Draft.[3] Overall, he recorded 32 catches for 377 yards and 6 touchdowns.[4]

During the 2015 IFAF World Championship in Canton Ohio he was part of the United States team led by Dan Hawkins that won a gold medal in the tournament.[5]
