BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – WKU Hilltopper Basketball head coach Rick Stansbury announced
Wednesday the addition of Tyrone Marshall (6-7, Forward) in the early signing period
for the Class of 2022.
Marshall will join the team after two seasons at Colby Community College in Colby,
Kansas.
“We’re excited to have Tyrone as part of our basketball family,” Stansbury said. “I
love the abilities that he brings. He’s a multidimensional player who can do a lot
of things, but I think his best quality is the kind of person he is. He’s a great
young man and we’re happy to have him join our program.”
Already four games into the 2021-22 season, Marshall is averaging 22.8 points and
8.3 rebounds per game in 29.5 minutes. The Nashville, Tenn., native is shooting
69.4% from the floor and 50% from long range.
In the 2020-21 season, Marshall played and started in all 16 contests for the
Trojans. He averaged 31.4 minutes per contest, shooting 55.3% from the field and
scoring 14.1 points per game. The 6-foot-7, 215-pound forward also added 7.4 boards
per game, including 47 offensive rebounds over the whole season.
Marshall graduated from Pearl Cohn High School in 2020, where he was an all-state
selection and a finalist for Tennessee Mr. Basketball. He’s rated a three-star
recruit by Rivals coming out of Colby.
