From this week, check out the new home field scoring graphic! Even cooler is getting to see it 6 times during the game (another 5 PATs and a field goal this week)! Solid punts and 5 kickoff touchbacks, too, but none of that happens without great players, execution, and coaching.

Proud to be part of this team of engineers for starting off the season 2-0! From last week, getting the first win against a D1 opponent in program history was a blast--and going 5/5 on PATs and 1/1 on FGs, while also being entrusted with punting and kickoff duties, was awesome!

Alongside my awesome specialist teammates, I'm holding the trophy for the longest running rivalry in NCAA D2 athletics -- the 140th game between South Dakota Mines and BH State. What an honor it was to hit 2 field goals and go 3/3 on PATs in this historic game!

Another day, another lift. 85kg snatch, 110kg clean and jerk, and 145kg for 4x3 back squat.

Looks like all that lifting is paying off -- finished my workout going 6/6 from 50 yards, and it it felt pretty easy.

Spring weight training for explosiveness and strength. 155 lb snatches still moving well on the fifth set.

I was blessed to be part of this amazing SMU team for the past two years, and am so grateful for the friendship, coaching, education, and experiences I have been given. That said, I have made the tough decision to enter the transfer portal with 3 years of eligibility. Pony up!

Just a few days at home before heading up to Boston -- time for one last workout on my old practice field in Austin, finishing with this kick from 51 yards. So blessed to be part of this amazing AAC Champion SMU team and spending Christmas gearing up for the Fenway Bowl!

It was a surreal experience to walk into the SMU locker room on game day and see my name on a jersey, and my gear laid out in the locker. I couldn't be more grateful or excited to be part of this team. A great win in Game 1. OU next week! #ponyup
