• In the last six games of the season established or equaled his career highs in points (five at Ole Miss), rebounds (five at Florida), assists (three vs. Auburn), blocks (one at both Ole Miss and Florida), minutes (20 at Florida), FGs made (two at Florida) and FG attempts (three at Florida).

2017-18 Season Highlights:
• Played in two games, the season opener against Bryant and an SEC Tournament win over Vanderbilt.
• Delivered a double-pump dunk and collected a pair of steals during four minutes of action in exhibition win over Valdosta State.
