Tyler Stephens is becoming Averett’s inside-out glue guy
In the 2025-26 season, Averett forward Tyler Stephens emerged as a high-motor rebounder and dependable scorer, averaging 8.3 points and 6.1 rebounds per game while ranking sixth in the ODAC on the glass. He flashed a real ceiling with a 26-point, 10-rebound game, and he also stacked up multiple double-doubles, including a 20-point, 13-rebound effort with six double-doubles on the year. Why care? He brings toughness, second-chance value, and steady production that coaches love — the kind of frontcourt piece who raises a team’s floor and isn’t afraid to get grimy.
