College career

In his junior year 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. He suffered from a rare form of muscle cramping causing raised creatine phosphokinase levels which dampened his chances in the 2014 NFL Draft.[3] Overall, he recorded 32 catches for 377 yards and 6 touchdowns.[4]

2015 IFAF World Championship

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]

NFL career

The Washington Redskins signed him on August 15, 2015.[6] This came on the back of Niles Paul and Logan Paulson being placed on the Injured Reserve list. He was waived on August 31, 2015.[7]
