He is the fifth guard, third true freshman and the seventh player from the state of Texas to sign with the Golden Hurricane. Archie played three years at C.E.

"We are excited that Tyshawn has decided to join our TU Family," said Konkol. "Tyshawn is an electric athlete with tremendous quickness, jumping ability, and ball skills. He is a clever playmaker that can score at three levels and find good shots for others. He has a strong feel for the game and has competed at a high level in high school during the season and the summer months."
