STANFORD, Calif. – Stanford's Anne & Tony Joseph Director of Men's Basketball Jerod Haase announced the signing of nationally-ranked point guard Tyrell Terry to a National Letter of Intent.
The 6-1, 160-pound guard out of Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a consensus four-star prospect and one of the top point guard's in the Class of 2019.
"Tyrell is the consummate point guard," Haase said. "He is an elite shooter and, more importantly, a leader and a playmaker on the floor. Tyrell continues to build his strength and quickness, which will enable him to compete at this level when he steps on campus. He is a true Stanford student-athlete, a high character person who is extremely intelligent. I believe he will thrive in this environment."
A star for De La Salle High School in Minneapolis, Terry is ranked No. 61 in the 2019 class by 247Sports, No. 81 by Rivals and No. 90 by ESPN. The point guard is No. 76 in the 247Sports composite rankings. He is the third-ranked prospect in the state of Minnesota by all three outlets. Terry is rated as the fifth-best point guard in the class by 247Sports, while Rivals ranks him No. 11 at his position and ESPN has him at No. 12 in their positional rankings.
Terry averaged 17 points and seven assists per game for DeLaSalle during his junior season. He led the Islanders to a 21-4 record in 2017-18. DeLaSalle placed third in the Minnesota Class 3A state tournament, where Terry was named to the 10-man all-tournament team. Terry helped guide the Islanders to state titles as a freshman and sophomore.
Terry also competed with the USA Select Team at the Albert Schweitzer Tournament in Germany and was a standout for D1 Minnesota on the AAU circuit this past summer.
The signing of Terry for the Class of 2019 follows consecutive top-20 recruiting classes for the Cardinal in 2017 and 2018.
