Western Kentucky announced the signing of 6-foot-7, 215-pound forward Tyrone Marshall Jr. of Colby (Kan.) Community College on Wednesday, the first day of the early signing period for college basketball.

Marshall verbally committed to the program on July 26th.

"We're excited to have Tyrone as part of our basketball family. I love the abilities that he brings. He's a multidimensional player who can do a lot of things, but I think his best quality is the kind of person he is. He's a great young man and we're happy to have him join our program."
