American Ninja Warrior 11[]
He returned to compete in his hometown in Baltimore. There, he was the first competitor on broadcast to run. He had a grand entrance where he and his acapella group, "The Mama's Boys", sung him off before running.
On the course, he made good work of the first three obstacles, but like last season, he slipped on the fourth obstacle, failing the Hazard Cones. At the end of the night, he went far enough fast enough to place 29th overall and advance to the city finals for the first time.
In the city finals, he got revenge on the Hazard Cones, but failed one obstacle later on Crank It Up, placing 26th overall and not advancing to the national finals.
