At Bradley (2012-Active)
Scored his first career goal against #17 Northwestern on Oct. 3, 2012.

Quoting Jim DeRose
"J.T. has been a center back or right back for his club team, the Dallas Texans.  He is very athletic and conscientious defensively.  His aerial ability is excellent and he is a very good individual defender.  Losing some of our best and most-athletic defenders to graduation, we feel J.T. can follow in a long line of guys that embrace the challenge of dealing with the top attacking players in the country.  He, no doubt, will help fill the defensive void created by our recent graduation."
