Windermere High boys basketball player TJ Drain has announced his commitment to play college basketball at Liberty University.
“| thank God for bringing this blessing to life,” Drain wrote on a social-media post. “| also want to take a moment to thank my village that was there from Day One, believing in me from the start and always pushing me to be the best me! Thank you, God, for this opportunity.”
Drain had a breakout junior season in 2023-24 for the Wolverines, averaging 19.8 points, 8.6 rebounds and 3.2 blocks per game — all of which were team-highs for a Windermere squad that finished with a 20-9 record. The 6-foot-8 forward chose the Flames over USC-Upstate, UMass and other offers.
“I am beyond proud of you,” said Windermere boys basketball coach Mark Griseck in a response to Drain’s announcement on social media. “You are a testament of hard work and the rewards it can bring. Blessed to be your coach. Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your journey!”
