After he graduated from Lansing High School in 2013, he ventured north to Monroe Community College in Rochester to lace up the cleats for the Tribunes. After a pair of impressive seasons, where he ripped 10 doubles, five triples and hit .345, North Carolina Central University came calling. He didn’t skip a beat once he set foot on campus in Durham and excelled with the NCAA Division I Eagles. In two seasons there, he cranked 12 doubles, five home runs and just recently concluded his collegiate career with a .348 average playing down south.
