Ruiz averaged 1.92 field goals per game to lead the country. Ruiz made 23 of 27 field goals (.852) during the 2019 season obliterating the single-season school record which stood at 15 before the season. He also broke the single-season school record for field goal attempts.
He was fifth in the nation in field goal percentage and 10th in the nation in scoring with 116 points. Ruiz also made 47 of 52 extra points during the season. He had the second-best scoring season of all-time at N.C. A&T behind teammate Jah-Maine Martin who scored 126 points last season.
