A sharpshooter out of Liberty, Taelon Peter shot 45% from behind the arc last season and led the NCAA in true shooting percentage.

Peter was selected in the 2nd round as the 54th pick by the Indiana Pacers. “I’m speechless,” said Taelon. “It was a special moment that I’ll never forget.” Taelon started off his college career at Tennessee Tech but eventually returned home to Russellville to play for the Arkansas Tech Wonder Boys from 2021-24.

Pacers' draft pick Taelon Peter was named third-team All-Conference USA and the Conference USA Sixth Man of the Year.
