He finished 2008 with 57 catches for 699 yards and eight touchdowns. It was his skills as a kick returner that emerged in 2008 as he returned nine kickoffs for 338 yards and two touchdowns.

In 2006, he was selected as the Lone Star Conference North Division Receiver of the Year and to the First-team All-LSC-North.
