His playing in the 1911 Egg Bowl, then his position was at end, was cited as 'superb' by the Commercial Appeal.[1] That year Mississippi A & M was invited to its first postseason bowl game, the Bacardi Bowl in Havana, Cuba.[1] He received the most votes of any All-Southern halfback in 1914.[2][3] He was nominated though not selected for an Associated Press All-Time Southeast 1869-1919 era team.[4]
