“We’re excited to have Tyrone as part of our basketball family,” Stansbury said in a news release. “I love the abilities that he brings. He’s a multidimensional player who can do a lot of things, but I think his best quality is the kind of person he is.

“He’s a great young man and we’re happy to have him join our program.”

Already four games into the 2021-22 season, Marshall is averaging 22.8 points and 8.3 rebounds per game in 29.5 minutes. The Nashville native is shooting 69.4% from the floor and 50% from long range.

In the 2020-21 season, Marshall played and started in all 16 contests for the Trojans.
