He boasts top-five marks in the conference in seven categories including second in field goals and points per game, third in field goal percentage, points, and free throw percentage, fourth in free throws, and fifth in field goal attempts. He adds two more top-10 totals with rebounds (7th) and free throw attempts (9th).
"Toodles has done a great job in his career of being able to score in many ways, which made him a very tough player to guard," said SVSU head men's basketball coach Randy Baruth.

Congratulations Toodles on your accomplishments!"
