He notched 14 goals in 16 appearances during a surprise senior season in 2008 for Alabama A&M University of the SWAC Conference, helping the side to a 9–5–3 record last fall. The resulting 1.94 points per game were tied for the fifth most in Division I last season, while his 14 goals ranked tied for 10th overall.

Lagerwey says: "Futhi was the fifth leading goal scorer in Division I this season. He's a quick attacking player that got things done at the collegiate level, so we're anxious to see if that can translate to the pros." [1]
