Jethro Tshisumpa

Jethro Tshisumpa brings size, shot-blocking pedigree and frontcourt toughness to Texas Southern

Tshisumpa is a **6-foot-10, 260-pound** forward whose best calling card is rim protection and interior physicality; Mississippi State’s roster bio notes he once posted **25 points, 55 rebounds and 25 blocks as a freshman** and was ranked **No. 87 in ESPN’s Class of 2021 Top 100**, which points to real upside and high-end pedigree.[2][4] For Texas Southern, that makes him the kind of big who can change a game with size, rebounding and defensive presence rather than pure scoring—useful if you want a rugged, low-maintenance frontcourt fit with proven upside.[4][1]
