The Brooklyn Park (MN) native has played in 14 of 16 games for the Gophers in the 2022-23 season, averaging 22 minutes a night. In those 22 minutes per game, he’s been averaging 6.2 points and 3.9 rebounds a game.

The true freshman while productive has struggled at times in his first season with the program, shooting just 30.5% from the field including 29% from three-point range.

However, the 6-foot-3 guard has flashed his potential with three double digit scoring efforts including a 20-point performance in December against Arkansas Pine-Bluff.

The Gophers return to action on Thursday night against Purdue with top off scheduled for 6 pm central time and televised on ESPN2.
