2025 marks PressBox’s ninth annual Best Of edition celebrating the top people, performances and moments of the year.
Best College Athletes: Tyler Tejada
It’s generally a good sign for Towson men’s basketball players to be in the same sentence as Jerrelle Benimon. Tyler Tejada became the first Tiger to win CAA Player of the Year since Benimon accomplished the feat twice more than a decade ago.
Tejada averaged 16.7 points and 3.9 rebounds per game for a Towson team that went 22-11 overall and 16-2 in the CAA in 2024-25. The 6-foot-9, 230-pound wing opted to return to the Tigers for the 2025-26 season with the goal of taking Towson to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1991.
