Since arriving on the scene two years ago, junior forward Tyrell Johnson has made quite a bit of noise for the Appalachian State men’s basketball team.
His versatility, rebounding ability and soft shooting touch are all reasons why he was brought in by head coach Jim Fox, and are also a big part of why he is on the court so much today.
After a very successful high school career, where he received all-state honors in 2015, the Atlanta native hit the ground running his freshman year. He worked his way into the starting lineup very early in the season, in which he averaged around four points and four rebounds a game.
