In the 2003 Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association Class AA State Championship, he led Aliquippa to a come- from-behind 32–27 win over Northern Lehigh by scoring five (!) touchdowns, including three rushing, one on a punt return, another on the return of a blocked field goal attempt. He also completed a 39-yard pass and had a reception and an interception in the game.
