As a senior at Florida State, he averaged 4.9 PPG and 3.3 Rebounds a game. A testament to his work ethic was his near 50 percent rise as a free throw shooter from his Freshman to Senior year.
Former teammate Trent Forrest said on Twitter, "This definitely a tough one man.. One of the best dudes I done came across. Was the first to welcome me to fsu and was nothing short of a big brother my freshman year and even after.. it’s crazy to think we was just talking about life last week.. Gone miss ya fasho O!!"
May he rest in perfect peace.
