In 1991, he was the Big East special teams player of the year and received first-team All-American and All-Big East honors, after setting the conference record with 3 punts returned for touchdowns. In 1992 injuries made him slip to second-team All-Big East.

In the 1993 NFL draft, the Dallas Cowboys traded their first-round draft choice (#29-George Teague) and fourth-round pick (#112-Al Fontenot) to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for two second-round picks (#46 and #54-Darrin Smith) and a fourth-round draft choice (#94-Derrick Lassic).
