Tyree Appleby (born September 30, 1998) is an American basketball player for Darüşşafaka of the Basketbol Süper Ligi (BSL). He played for the Cleveland State Vikings, Florida Gators and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons.

College career

[edit]

After starring at Jacksonville High School in Jacksonville, Arkansas, Appleby signed with coach Dennis Felton at Cleveland State. After a freshman season where he averaged 11.8 points and 4 assists per game and earned Horizon League all-freshman team honors, the point guard matured into one of the top players in the conference as a sophomore.[1] As a sophomore for the Vikings, he averaged 17.2 points and 5.6 assists, earning second-team All-Horizon League honors.

After Felton was fired, Appleby transferred to Florida following the 2018–19 season.[2] After sitting out a year per NCAA transfer rules, Appleby played two seasons for the Gators, averaging 11.1 points and 3.5 assists per game.

For the 2022–23 season, Appleby chose to play his final season of eligibility playing for coach Steve Forbes at Wake Forest.[3] Early in the season, Appleby signed a Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) deal with restaurant chain Applebee's, playing off the similarity of his surname to the brand name.[4] Appleby established himself as one of the top players in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), leading the league in both scoring and assists through the last week of February.[5] Appleby passed the 2,000 career point milestone on February 7, 2023.[6]
