Originally hails from Grenada, Miss., where he starred in both basketball and track and field at Grenada High School... Former state high jump champion as a prep senior...

Averaged around 12 points, eight rebounds, four blocks and three steals per game at Maine’s Bridgton Academy in 2004-05 to help lead coach Whit Lesure’s Wolverines to a 30-6 record and the school’s first-ever New England Prep School Athletic Conference (NEPSAC) Class A championship... Ranked as BA’s third-leading scorer and No. 2 rebounder on the 2004-05 season, recording season-high totals of 25 points and 15 rebounds in separate outings versus Maine Central Institute...
