Walk-on who first appeared in seven career games at Clemson from 2019-22, including a 3-for-3 mark on PATs and a 56.0-yard average on 10 career kickoffs ... initially called it a career following the 2022 season but returned to the Tigers following an inquiry from Head Coach Dabo Swinney three games into the 2023 regular season ... concluded his career after 2023 with a 14-for-20 mark on field goals and 32-for-32 on PATs in 17 career games ... added his name to Clemson/South Carolina rivalry history when his three field goals of 50, 49 and 42 yards represented in the difference in Clemson's 16-7 win in Columbia in 2023 and further etched his name in Clemson lore with another 3-for-3 effort in Clemson's 11-point fourth quarter comeback win in his final career game against Kentucky in the 2023 Gator Bowl.

2023: Came out of retirement to re-join the team in late September and was voted by his teammates in the postseason as a permanent team captain … went 14-for-20 on field goals and 29-for-29 on PATs in 10 games … said Head Coach Dabo Swinney famously upon his return to the team, βIt’s either gonna be a great story or it’s gonna be terrible. It’s not gonna be anything in between” … recorded his first career start in his first game of the season vs. No. 4 Florida State … went 1-of-2 against the Seminoles, including converting his first career field goal attempt, a 30-yarder, in the first quarter … was 1-for-2 on field goals in games at Syracuse and vs. Wake Forest … posted the first multi-field-goal game of his career at Miami (Fla.), finishing 2-for-2 on field goals with successful attempts of 41 and 31 yards … went 1-for-2 on field goals and 2-for-2 on PATs at NC State … connected on his lone field goal attempt and went 4-for-4 on PATs vs. No. 12 Notre Dame … converted all six PAT attempts and had a field goal blocked vs. Georgia Tech … was 1-for-2 on field goals and 4-for-4 on PATs vs. No. 20 North Carolina … had a career day at South Carolina, earning ACC Special Teams Player of the Week after finishing 3-of-3 on field goals and 1-for-1 on PATs; all three of his field goals at South Carolina (50, 49 and 42) exceeded his previous career long of 41 and tied the school record for field goals of 40-plus yards in a single game … followed up his superlative rivalry performance with another clutch game against an SEC opponent in Clemson’s Gator Bowl win against Kentucky, converting field goals of 39, 28 and 52 yards in a 3-for-3 effort … his 52-yarder was a Gator Bowl record and tied Clemson’s bowl record set by his friend and former teammate B.T. Potter … the 52-yarder dramatically bounced off the crossbar and through as one of five lead changes in the fourth quarter of Clemson’s comeback win.
