He reached the 1,000-point mark for his career and recorded the second-highest point total (618) and third-highest three-pointers (93) in a season ever at Stockton.
The Ospreys are ranked ninth in the
D3hoops.com preseason poll, and they were picked first in the
NJAC preseason coaches poll. Stockton will kick off their 2022-23 campaign this weekend at the Penn State Harrisburg Tip-Off Tournament, where the Ospreys will face a pair of 2022 NCAA Tournament teams in Baruch College and Penn State Harrisburg.
