AJ Dent Jr. brings efficient scoring and versatile frontcourt size to Tarleton State
Through Tarleton State’s 2025-26 opener stretch, AJ Dent Jr. has scored 12 points in 25 minutes, shooting 50% from the field and 40% from three, which points to a low-usage but efficient stretch-capable forward. The bigger story is his proven production before arriving in Division I: Tarleton says he averaged 15.1 points and 7.8 rebounds at East Central CC and was a first-team all-conference selection, while his earlier JUCO seasons included multiple double-doubles and 60.7% shooting. If you want a forward who can score without needing the ball and has a track record of physical, productive play, he’s a credible fit.
