HBCU All-Star Forward Who Led FAMU to Historic SWAC Run
Tyler Shirley, a 6'8" redshirt senior forward for Florida A&M, is the Rattlers' top scorer (12.0 PPG, 5.1 RPG in 2025-26) and a proven intensity driver who earned All-SWAC Tournament honors (14.5 PPG, 5 RPG) and a spot in the 2026 HBCU All-Star Game. His differentiator is a versatile "big guard" skill set—shooting 52% over FAMU's final five conference games while averaging 15.9 PPG—paired with a relentless, high-energy personality that fueled the team to its highest-ever SWAC ranking. With no major injury history noted and a track record of elevating team performance in tight conference play, Shirley is an ideal fit for teams needing a scoring-forward who can defend multiple positions, create his own shot, and bring championship-level grit to the locker room.
