Michale Kyser was a shot-blocking force for Louisiana Tech
In the 2014-15 season, Michale Kyser gave Louisiana Tech a rare defensive anchor: 2.8 blocks per game, 6.6 rebounds per game, and a team-high 61% shooting while starting 35 of 36 games. His calling card was rim protection—he finished his Bulldogs career with 363 blocks, the program’s all-time mark, and earned multiple conference All-Defensive honors. For a team, he’s the kind of frontcourt piece who changes shot selection, cleans the glass, and brings steady, low-drama toughness; the upside is defense-first reliability rather than flashy scoring.
