Tres Tinkle’s career at Oregon State has come with a laundry list of awards, accolades and recognition. On Wednesday, the 6’ 8” star added another bullet point to his resume, when he was named one of the top twenty small forwards in college basketball.
Tinkle was added the preseason watch list for the 2020 Julius Erving Small Forward of the Year Award, which is presented annually to the best small forward in college basketball. The Montana native and son of Oregon State head coach Wayne Tinkle shares the list with three other Pac-12 stand-outs in Arizona’s Josh Green, Washington’s Jaden McDaniels and Washington State’s CJ Elleby, as well as a bevy of talent from around the country, including student-athletes from Duke, Florida, Gonzaga, Louisville, Kentucky, Villanova and more.
