Ranked No. 32 in the class of 2022. Averaged 9.6 points and 4.7 assists per game as a sophomore.
“Tyler is a solid perimeter shooter with a quick release. While he can stretch the defense with his ability to knock down 3’s, he can get to the rim and create off the bounce. Tyler’s plays with high basketball IQ, always looking to make the extra pass or hit his teammate on the break. On defense, he is deceptively quick, with a knack for getting his hand on the ball or coming up with a timely steal.” – Wisconsin Crusaders

Averaged 16.9 points and 3.6 rebounds per game last season. Ranked No. 72 in the class of 2021.

multiple ways and has good size and athleticism to go with his high basketball IQ.” – Wisconsin Crusaders

G Jackson Raasch (Arrowhead)
