[edit] Biography
He began as one of Lucas' river court friends and is a great basketball player (hence his nickname Skills).
[edit] Season One + Two
He was mostly seen in the river court in the first 2 season to serve as a reminder of Lucas old life, for instance telling him that he used to like how he was before joining the Ravens when Lucas told him that he didn't like what he had become. He also got nearer to Lucas's new friends Brooke, Peyton and Nathan for instance taking part in the dare night organized by Felix Taggaro.
[edit] Season Three
In season 3 he was chosen by Bevin, a cheerleader, to be her fantasy boy and began a relationship with her, although they kept playing tricks on each other as a seduction game. He is also a bit estranged as he is from a poor background while most of his friends are rich. He was one of those to get trapped during the gunshot at school and thusly went at Rachel's country home where he bonded a little more with the main cast.
[edit] Season Four
In season 4, Skills becomes a regular and joins the Ravens thanks to Lucas in hopes to get a basketball scholarship. During his first game with the Ravens, Skills is benched but is eventually allowed to play when Whitey overhears a conversation between him and Nathan. Whitey decided to put Skills in the game to see what he his worth and Skills instantly has great chemistry with Nathan, which helps the Ravens win. He helps Lucas sort out his feelings and develops a teasing/caring relationship with Peyton. He also wins the State championship, apparently getting his scholarship, although not without some difficulties because of Nathan. However he doesn't seem to hold that against him as he helped him earn some money by telling about a stripping contest. He then gets a scholarship and rekindles his friendship with Haley during the pairing assignment.
