SMU's Sharpshooting Walk-On with Untapped High School Legend Status
Alex Tabor Jr., a preferred walk-on guard for the SMU Mustangs, burst onto the college scene after a stellar high school career at Charlotte Country Day, where he set school records with 9 threes in a game, 98 in the 2018-19 season (88.3% FT), and a career 251 from beyond the arc while averaging 17.2 PPG as a senior. Limited college production (1.0 PPG in 2020-21 across 5 games) reflects his developmental role, but his elite shooting touch, clutch performances like upsets over Greensboro Day, and relentless work ethic make him a high-upside differentiator for teams needing instant spacing and scoring punch off the bench.
