16-year-old Jeremy Tyler is a sophomore at San Diego High School. He stands 6 feet 9 inches, weighs 240 pounds and wears shoe size 18. As if that weren’t enough to get attention, Jeremy currently has a film crew following him around. The company wanted to document Tyler from prep start to potential college headliner and hopefully on to NBA star.

Cavers coach Kenny Roy even tested Tyler and his teammates’ stamina and gave them a taste of college traveling experience by scheduling then in multiple out-of-state games and tournaments. They got the experience of traveling on airplanes and playing every other day.
