February 14, 2020
Tyler Beard grew up watching Michael Jordan's Bulls and developed into a top 2020 prospect at Whitney Young before committing to Georgetown.

Tyler Beard discovered his love for basketball through old recordings of the 1990s Chicago Bulls that his father shared with him. The guard at Whitney Young High School in Chicago modeled his game after that era's two-way excellence.

Beard has been a varsity contributor since his freshman year at one of the nation's premier high school programs. His partnership with Duke commit DJ Steward created one of the most dynamic backcourts in the country. Beard committed to the Georgetown Hoyas, where he'll play under Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing.
