Considered the top recruit of their class by 247Sports, he redshirted his freshman year and transferred to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) after the season to play for the Bruins.[3][4] He sat out of the 2019 season after the Huskies blocked a bid for him to have immediate playing eligibility.[5] He played at wide receiver with UCLA in 2020 and 2021 and at running back and on special teams in 2022 and 2023.[3] As a student, he earned a degree in economics and a master's degree in education.[3]
