He started his career with eight points and 13 rebounds in a game against Temple and finished it three years later with a 30 point and 20 rebound performance against Franklin and Marshall. He grabbed a school record 379 rebounds his senior year which lasted four decades. He was on a roll his senior year, snaring the team's top scoring honors in 13 of the Bullets' 26 games.
