Ball State’s steady, high-usage floor general
In the 2018-19 season, Tayler Persons was the engine for Ball State, averaging 16.7 points, 4.3 assists, and 4.0 rebounds while starting every game and earning Third Team All-MAC honors. He stood out as a tough, durable lead guard who could create his own shot, handle heavy usage, and still make teammates better—plus he was a four-time MAC West Player of the Week and one of the most productive guards in program history. If you want a steady creator with veteran poise and real carry-the-offense upside, he’s absolutely worth caring about.
