The now-three-time All-American joins an elite club in Tiger history as he became the fourth Trinity men's athlete to notch a third such honor, the first to do so since Cody Hall's back-to-back top-four runs in the 110 hurdles (2017, 2018) and the first to do so three times in the same event in Trinity history.

Majors's sixth-place mark came on his first attempt at 7.19 meters, roughly a foot shy of his personal-best 7.52-meter leap at the Saints Last Chance meet at Our Lady of the Lake University that seeded him sixth in this year's field. The early leap left the senior in position to be agressive as only one of the 60 preliminary attempts eclipsed his season-best, and by just 1.5 inches.

With the field trimmed to the final nine competitors, Majors was unable to right the ship as a 7.07-meter fourth attempt was the only marked jump in the final session. His seed jump from the OLLU competition would have finished third in the event. Majors now has national finishes of third (2021 outdoor), fifth (2022 indoor) and sixth in the long jump in his career, representing all three of his All-American performances.

The 2021 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Field Athlete of the Year, and 2019 Newcomer of the Year, finishes his senior season as a four-time Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Champion, three-consecutive times in long jump along with the 2022 400-meter dash. He posted the league's all-time best performance in the long jump in this year's meet at 7.34 meters (24'1"), a record of his own from the 2021 meet.
