LUBBOCK, TX – The Texas Tech Red Raiders made their first major addition of the offseason back on April 9, officially signing veteran guard Tyeree Bryan, who arrives with a well-traveled background and a dangerous shooting touch.
A 6-foot-5 guard from Orlando, Florida, Bryan brings four years of college basketball experience with him to Lubbock. He played the last two seasons at Santa Clara, spent one year at Charleston Southern, and began his career at Indian River State College. Over the course of 93 NCAA games, Bryan has scored 900 career points and connected on 144 three-pointers, shooting an impressive 41.6 percent from beyond the arc.
Now, he’s ready to take on the challenge of playing in the Big 12 under head coach Grant McCasland.
> “I’m excited to be part of a program with a winning culture and a fan base that loves basketball,” Bryan said. “Playing in the Big 12 is a dream, and I want to prove I belong here.”
Bryan’s shooting ability and versatility in the backcourt make him an intriguing piece for Texas Tech. Known for his smooth release and deep range, he’s more than just a shooter—he brings maturity, leadership, and an understanding of the college game that could make him a valuable contributor from day one.
> “My main focus is to help the team win,” he said. “Whether that’s hitting shots, defending, or being a leader in the locker room, I’m here to do whatever is needed.”
At Santa Clara, Bryan developed a reputation as one of the top shooters in the West Coast Conference. He averaged double figures in scoring last season and consistently hit big shots in late-game situations. His performance earned interest from several high-major programs, but Texas Tech stood out for its vision, player development, and competitive atmosphere.
> “Coach McCasland and the staff made me feel like family,” Bryan said. “They believe in my game and have a plan for me to grow even more.”
With the Big 12 known for its physicality and pace, Bryan knows he’ll need to raise his level—but he’s ready for the challenge.
> “This is the biggest stage I’ve been on, but I’ve been working for this my whole career,” he said. “Now it’s time to show what I can do.”
Expect Bryan to compete for key minutes in the Red Raiders’ rotation and provide instant spacing on the floor. If his past shooting numbers carry over, he could quickly become a fan favorite in Lubbock.
