Fifth-year senior forward Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua has become a household name for the men’s basketball program over nearly the last five years at Baylor.

Given the nickname “Everyday Jon” for his impressive work ethic and strong leadership, Tchamwa Tchatchoua said he is striving to make his final weeks with Baylor all the more outstanding.

After transferring from UNLV following his freshman year, Tchamwa Tchatchoua sat on the bench as a redshirt player and learned from teammates, some of whom ended up becoming national champions. He said it meant a lot to him to get advice from the players before him and to grow in leadership to encourage the team he is on now.
