MMI Prep’s Tyler Breznitsky, the leading scorer in school history, will be heading to Wilkes to play basketball for coach Jerry Rickrode and the Colonels.
Breznitsky, a four-year starter for the Preppers and the Wyoming Valley Conference Division IV MVP this past season, will enroll at Wilkes in the fall, according to a press release from the university.
A standout guard, Breznitsky racked up more than 1,900 points in his high school career and averaged more than 17 points per game in each of his four seasons. His senior season average topped 20 points per game, landing him on the Associated Press Class A All-State third-team.
“I feel very strongly that Tyler is going to make an immediate impact on our basketball team here at Wilkes,” Rickrode said in the release. “He is just an outstanding all-around player who has the ability to score in a variety of ways.”
