Tarleton State Gains Transfer Guard Blackwell

Caleb Blackwell, a six-foot-one guard from Buford, Georgia, is joining Tarleton State mens basketball as the first transfer signee for the 2026-27 season. Blackwell, who averaged 10.6 points per game at UTEP last year, will suit up alongside returners like Leroy Kelly, Kade Douglas, and Matyas Vrabel, making him one of two seniors on the squad. Coach Eric Haut is excited about Blackwells Division One experience, work ethic, and leadership, and Blackwell himself chose Tarleton for the winning culture, elite staff, and shot at a conference title. Blackwells UTEP stats include 2.9 assists, 2.6 rebounds, and 36.4% three-point shooting, while at JUCO, he posted 13.1 points and led with assists. Tarleton State is building something special, and Blackwell is expected to light it up for the Texans next year. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
