He was a semifinalist for the Golden Spikes Award, a first-team All-Big 12 selection and was named Most Outstanding Player of the 2022 Big 12 Championship. The Waxahachie, Texas, product leads Oklahoma with 20 home runs, four triples, 70 RBIs, 65 runs scored and 32 stolen bases, and has batted .335 this season.
