Tommy Olds brings walk-on grit, but his on-court role has been tiny
In the 2015-16 season at The Citadel, guard Tommy Olds was a low-minute walk-on who appeared in four games and averaged 0.8 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 0.5 assists, with his most memorable note being relentless effort and earning his spot through hard work. The differentiator here isn’t volume—it’s toughness, academic-minded discipline, and team-first value; he was described by the program as a hardworking player who "lived out his dream" to compete at the college level. For a roster spot, he reads more as a culture piece than a stat-sheet driver.
