Davidson Inks Another Division 1 Transfer

Joel Davidson announces one more Division I transfer, Tyler Reynolds, from Eugene, OR.  A product of the pacific northwest, Tyler will be transferring from Fairleigh Dickinson University, where he played in 28 games for the Knights while playing close to 14 minutes a contest, averaging three points per game. On January 27,2011, against Long Island University, Tyler scored 14 points, including 4 three-pointers.
The 6’4”, 185 pound guard joins the Casper College Thunderbirds via Fairleigh Dickinson and previously, Westwind Prep Academy in Phoenix, AZ. He is a shooter who is developing his handle, while also learning to play without the ball in his hands. “Our staff was impressed with the way Tyler improved over the course of the year after he left Westwind Prep Academy. He did a great deal of work to improve during his time at FDU.  He got a lot bigger and his ability to shoot the ball coming off screens and catch an shoot, were at a high level.”  Said Coach Davidson of Reynolds.  The coaching staff was impressed with his work ethic and grit as not a player, but a kid as well.
Reynolds was a first team, All-Southwest Conference selection for the Irish as a senior, but did not have any Division I scholarship offers. At the recommendation of Boise State coach Greg Graham, Reynolds decided to go to prep school for a year and he averaged eight points per game for a team that finished second at the National Prep School Championships. That team consisted of six other players who all signed to play in the Division I ranks.  Tyler was named Second Team All-League as a junior and First Team All-League as a senior.  Before choosing Fairleigh Dickinson University, Tyler was also recruited by San Francisco, Boise State, Quinnipiac, San Jose State, and Central Connecticut State.
“We are extremely happy about getting a kid like Tyler. His ability to really shoot the ball from the perimeter as well as his ability to guard the ball defensively will be a tremendous asset to the T-Birds. He is a tenacious kid, and his experience from being at the Division I level will definitely benefit our team this season.” Davidson mentioned.
