Keeping secrets sometimes gets a bad rap, but for Leroy Blyden Jr., a secret social media post meant playing college basketball with a familiar face.
Blyden surprised high school teammate and current University of Toledo guard Sonny Wilson with his commitment to the Rockets in a Sep. 19, 2024 post.
“I kind of kept it a secret from Sonny, because I wanted him to figure it out through social media,” Blyden said. “When I posted it and he had seen it, he had told me congrats.”
While the two played one year together at University of Detroit Jesuit High School — Wilson being two grades older — he had no idea Blyden would join him at Toledo.
