He represented the United States in the relay at the 2011 World Championships and was selected to compete at the 2012 London Olympics.
At the NCAA Outdoor Championship he was a semi-finalist in both the short sprints and helped the 4×100 m relay team to second in the final.

He was less successful at the NCAA Indoors, taking third in the 200 m and sixth in the 60 m. He was again dominant at the ACC Outdoor Championship that year: he took a third straight 200 m title, was runner-up in the 100 m, won the 4×100 m relay title, and helped Florida's 4×400 m relay team to third place.
He was a semi-finalist in the 100 m, but ran a wind-assisted 20.14 to claim runner-up behind Wallace Spearmon over 200 m, earning him the chance to compete at the 2012 London Olympics.
