In 2023, he started 12 games and was part of an offensive line that allowed the Tar Heels to post an Atlantic Coast Conference-leading 491.2 offensive yards per game and helped running back Omarion Hampton amass 1,504 rushing yards.

In 2022, he made 14 starts at left guard and helped the Tar Heels finish second in the ACC in both offensive yards (462.8 per game) and passing yards (309.3).
