Tyler Showalter '24 Recruiting Profile

I am a 6’6 Shooting Guard.   I am a leader, I put a lot of individual time into working on my personal game and I believe in fundamental team basketball.

I started AAU ball when I was 8 years old.  After a year I started to get recruited to some of the  top teams in my age group  in my town.  I decided to take a different route. I decided to play up an age level and play with and against players much stronger than me.  This is one of the best decisions I could have made as a young player.  I built a work ethic, determination and resilience that I never would have been able to build if I had stayed in my own age group.  As a  sophomore Varsity starter  in high school, I still play up an age level in AAU ball.  

Coaches and analysts describe me as a true 3 level scorer and someone who plays both sides of the court well.  I am also referred to as a floor general who talks and leads his team through every game. I love basketball and the competition but I think I love the brotherhood that it creates even more.  The process of learning to work with new players and the journey teams take together is a big reason I love the game so much and I hope I am blessed to continue to play at the college level.
