- His stellar show had seen him get college basketball offers from several institutions including the University of Connecticut, the University of California, Los Angeles, the Wake Forest University, and the University of Oregon. He eventually chose to join Florida State University.
- During his freshman and only season at Florida State University, he was named to the ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference)’s ‘All-Freshman Team’.

- In September 2020, he was arrested on charges of marijuana possession. Although he was released after a while, the charges against him were not dropped. He had aimed a rifle at a couple and their teenage son just outside his home after a large stash of marijuana was discovered at his place.
