2019 SEASON
Played in all 12 games with five starts, posting 19 catches for 307 yards with a score … His 16.2 yards per catch was the second-best mark on the team … His 307 yards were fourth-most on the team … Opened his season with four catches for 62 yards at Wyoming (8/31) … Posted a season-high 104 yards on just two catches against Southeast Missouri (9/14), his third career 100-yard receiving game … Registered four catches for 53 yards against No. 6 Florida (11/16) … Tallied a pair of catches for 33 yards against Tennessee (11/23).

2018 SEASON
Had a breakout freshman season and became a dependable weapon at wideout, which was a key as the Tiger receiving corps got hit with the injury bug early and often on the year … Played in 12 games, and started eight times, while catching 27 passes for 419 yards (15.5 average) and three touchdowns … His yardage total was the most by a Mizzou true freshman receiver since 2016, and ranked as the fourth-most ever in a season by any true freshman … Twice was named SEC Freshman of the Week, for his performances at Purdue (9/15) and later against Memphis (10/20) … Keyed Mizzou’s big road win at Purdue, as he caught five passes for 110 yards and his first collegiate score, which came on a pretty 59-yard catch-and-run strike from quarterback Drew Lock … Later turned in another big game in MU’s Homecoming win over Memphis, with five receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown … Scored Mizzou’s sole touchdown at No. 1 Alabama (10/13) when he got loose in the back of the endzone for a 20-yard catch that made it 13-10 ‘Bama late in the first quarter … He would end that game with a team-best 61 receiving yards on three receptions.

BEFORE MIZZOU
Versatile talent whose major strength is his ability to contribute at a variety of spots on the offensive side of the ball … Tremendous ball skills with great quickness and agility … His incredible change-of-direction gives him the potential to be a dynamic return man … Was the third Mizzou commit in the #ShowMe18 class as he committed to Mizzou early in the process … Four-star athlete according to ESPN.com and listed as the nation’s No. 28 athlete by the national recruiting service … Clocked a 4.51 40-yard dash time … Three-star all-purpose back and the nation’s No. 15 all-purpose back by Rivals.com … Three-star athlete by 247Sports.com … Texas District 14-5A Newcomer of the Year as sophomore in 2015 … Earned All-Texas District 10-5A as a junior in 2016 after posting 684 total combined yards, rushing and receiving, with seven touchdowns … Also ran track & field at Timberview, clocking personal-best times of 10.66 in the 100m dash and 21.54 in the 200m dash, both coming during the 2017 season … His 10.66 in the 100m dash won the Allen Eagle Relays, ahead of the next-best time of 10.73 … Cited the belief in his ability from Mizzou’s coaches as a key reason for why he signed …  Chose Mizzou over offers from Baylor, Boise State, Colorado State, Duke, Illinois, Iowa State, Kanas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oregon State, Tulane, Utah and Wisconsin.
