2022 four-star Tyler Nickel discusses his recruitment
Tyler Nickel has scored 1,464 points in his high school career.
Tyler Nickel is just finishing his sophomore campaign. That point total put him in the top spot for most in Virginia High School history. It’s safe to say he’s become one of the most efficient scorers in the entire country.
The four-star forward out of the 2022 class, currently attends East Rockingham (VA) High School. His last measurements had him at 6-foot-8 and nearly 210 pounds. His ability to score at all three levels and run the floor and lead an offense at his size has made him extremely valuable to college coaches.
