As a Freshman (2009-10)
Saw limited action in four games before a nagging injury derailed his freshman campaign... Scored a season-high tying four points and grabbed a season-high five rebounds in a season-high 15 minutes versus Nova Southeastern (11/16)... Posted four points, four boards and a pair of steals in his season debut against North Carolina Central (11/14)... Despite his inability to play, earned the team's first annual "Iron Man Award", in recognition of the UM men's basketball player who has exhibited dedication in the classroom, locker room and weight room... From his arrival on campus through the postseason, increased his bench press by 30 pounds, his squats by 125 pounds and his vertical jump by two inches, while reaching a team-high 12 feet.
