He was rated the No. 18 dual-threat quarterback in the country by 247Sports when he signed with the Red Raiders, and was named one of the top 100 recruits in the country by all three recruiting platforms.

His best season came as a junior, when he threw for 3,415 yards and 43 touchdowns to only eight interceptions, and rushed for 870, accounting for 52 total touchdowns on his way to District 2-6A Offensive MVP honors. He was an Honorable Mention All-State selection by the Associated Press. His senior season ended early with an injury in his second game.
