efficient, physical, and a quiet glue piece for Norfolk State
In the 2024-25 season, Tyrel Bladen gave Norfolk State efficient frontcourt minutes, averaging 4.4 points and 3.4 rebounds while shooting 55.4% from the field in 31 games, with a season-high 16 points on a perfect 8-for-8 outing and a strong 17-point game earlier in his Norfolk State run. He’s a 6-10 forward whose value shows up in the margins: rim-running, finishing cleanly, defending physically, and bringing veteran steadiness after previously missing a season at Rider due to injury. If your team wants size, efficiency, and low-drama toughness, he’s the kind of fit that quietly helps winning happen.
