He returned to BYU in time to participate in 2015 spring camp where linebackers coach Kelly Poppinga told the Daily Herald that “In the last three or four practices, he’s shown me things that indicate he might be able to help us this fall.”

As a junior he had 129 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 2 interceptions, and was a first team all-region and honorable mention all-state selection. As a senior he had 60 tackles, 2 sacks and again was a first team all-region and honorable mention all-state selection. He totaled 256 tackles in his high school career.
