His college career began at Tulane, where he closed out the 2024 season with 2,723 passing yards, 22 touchdowns and just six interceptions. From there, he transferred to Duke to play under Manny Diaz, where his production climbed further, throwing for 3,973 yards and 34 touchdowns against only six picks.
