Norfolk Seawolves (DSFL)
In Season 49, his first professional season, he joined the Norfolk Seawolves of the DSFL. He made an immediate impact, leading the Seawolves to a 9-4-1 record and a playoff berth. The team's impressive run extended to the Ultimini championship game, though they were ultimately defeated. Despite the championship loss, his rookie campaign was considered a remarkable success. He led the league with 30 touchdown passes and a 95.9 passer rating, earning him a spot on the S49 Pro Bowl team. His outstanding performance also resulted in him being named both DSFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and DSFL Most Valuable Player.
His second season with the Seawolves (Season 50) saw the team take a step back, finishing with a 6-8 record despite matching his rookie total of 30 touchdown passes. While his completion percentage improved to 56.4%, his interceptions more than doubled from 7 to 15, resulting in a lower passer rating of 83.2.
Season 51, his final year in the DSFL, proved challenging as the Seawolves struggled to a 3-11 record. Though his completion percentage continued to improve, reaching 61.6%, his touchdown production dropped to 20 while throwing 16 interceptions. Despite the team's struggles, his development as a passer was evident as he showed greater accuracy, completing a higher percentage of his passes each season with the Seawolves.
ISFL Career
Following three seasons in the DSFL, he was selected by the Black Forest Brood in the 2nd round (18th overall pick) of the ISFL draft. His transition to the higher level of competition proved difficult, as the Brood finished with a disappointing 2-14 record in Season 52. Despite the team's struggles, he showed potential by throwing for 4,093 yards and 21 touchdowns, though he also recorded 12 interceptions and an 80.0 passer rating.
After just one season with the Brood, he entered free agency and signed with the Yellowknife Wraiths for Season 53. The change of scenery proved beneficial, as he led the Wraiths to a 9-7 record and a playoff berth. Though the team was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, his personal performance showed marked improvement. He posted career bests with a 64.1% completion rate, a 101.1 passer rating, and an impressive 29:6 touchdown-to-interception ratio. His rushing abilities also emerged as he recorded 50 yards on the ground and his first rushing touchdown in the ISFL.
