First I want to thank God, Yale, my coaches, and my teammates for everything over these past four years. I’m grateful for the support, growth, and relationships that have shaped me on and off the field.

With that, I’m officially entering the transfer portal as a graduate transfer (December grad).

This season: 71 catches, 1,085 yards, 11 TDs in 10 games, First Team All-Ivy, All-New England, No. 1 PFF grade across both FCS and FBS, and No. 1 in receiving yards per game across both levels (108.5 YPG).

I’m excited for the next chapter and the opportunity to compete at the highest level.
