He played at Saint Louis and Southeast Missouri State before transferring to Texas-Arlington, and he is a skilled point guard that can shoot and pass the basketball. He is undersized and will need to show that he can play well consistently against upper-echelon opponents, but he may have what it takes to make it to the NBA someday.
