He wasn’t very big but he was one of the best running backs in McNeese football history, having rushed for 2,920 yards in four years (fifth on the all-time chart). He could carve up a defense with his dashing, darting style and twice he ran for over 200 yards in a single game (212 vs La Tech in 1979 and 203 vs Nicholls State in 1980). The 46 times he carried the football against Louisiana Tech in 1979 remains as a school and Southland Conference single game record. He led the Cowboys and the SLC in rushing in 1980 with 1,279 yards and he played on two SLC championship teams and in two Independence Bowl games.
