Tyland Crawford '16 Recruiting Profile

Sports have always played an important role in my life.  I started playing basketball, football, and baseball at the age of five.   My ability to play various sports has earned me a title of a “dual athlete.”  Competing in sports has helped me really focus on my athletic performance.  Basketball is and always has been my first passion.  I am working hard every day on the court and classroom to make a difference.  I am currently a junior in high school and looking forward to the opportunity to play Division 1 college basketball and earning a college degree.

I have played organized and AAU basketball for 9 years.  I am a very versatile player that has the ability to play multiple positions.  I can execute and deliver at the point and shooting guard positions.  I play the 1 and 2 positions at any time, depending on my team needs.  Independently, I can run plays, find the open player, shoot when my team needs a basket, help break the press and make great plays on defense.  Defense is one of my strongest abilities!  I am an all-around player on and off the court.  My transitional skills and driving ability has enhanced my game tremendously.   I put in many additional hours in the gym to elevate my game. 

I am currently a scholar athlete with a 3.2 GPA.  I was selected 6A All-South Region - Second TEam and Conference 4 All - Conference First Team Honors.  I was also selected for the "Captain's Award" on my high school basketball team.
