He began his sophomore season by scoring eight goals in the first seven games of the season.[6][7] In September 2023, he was named the Sun Belt Conference Offensive Player of the Week.[8] On October 18, 2023, he scored a hat trick in a 5-2 victory over the Marshall Thundering Herd.[9][10][11] The performance earned him NCAA Player of the Week honours.[12] At the end of the season he was named to the All-Sun Belt First Team,[13] All-Southeast Region First Team,[14] a Second-Team All-American,[15] College Soccer News First-Team All-American,[16][17] CSC First-Team Academic All-American,[18] and CSC Academic All-District.[3]

At the 2024 MLS SuperDraft, he became the first player in school history to be selected in the first round.[19] However, rather than to turn professional, he opted to return to West Virginia for the 2024 season.[20]
