Trevon Brazile is an American college basketball player for the Arkansas Razorbacks of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). He previously played for the Missouri Tigers.

Early life

Brazile was born in Springfield, Missouri.[1] He grew up playing basketball and usually was a point guard.[2] He first attended Parkview High School in Springfield, where he played basketball and averaged 11.2 points and 5.1 rebounds per game as a junior, before transferring to Kickapoo High School as a senior.[3] At Kickapoo, Brazile helped them win a state championship and was named all-state and first-team all-conference while averaging 13.2 points and 7.5 rebounds per game.[4][5] Ranked a three-star recruit, the fourth-best recruit in the state and the 178th-best nationally by 247Sports, he committed to play college basketball for the Missouri Tigers.[4][6][7]

College career

Brazile joined Missouri for the 2021–22 season but missed the first eight games with a medical condition, then played in two games as a backup and started the final 22 games.[4] He led the team with 43 blocks, placing fourth all-time for freshmen in school history, and averaged 6.3 points and 5.0 rebounds per game.[8][9] After head coach Cuonzo Martin was dismissed by the Tigers, Brazile entered the NCAA transfer portal.[10] He ultimately transferred to the Arkansas Razorbacks.[11]

As a sophomore at Arkansas in 2022–23, Brazile appeared in the first nine games before suffering a torn ACL.[12][13] He averaged 11.8 points and 6.0 rebounds per game and made 38% of his shots from the 3-point range.[14] He was considered a potential second-round selection in the 2023 NBA draft despite his injury but opted to return for another season.[13] Entering the 2023–24 season, Brazile was selected preseason first-team All-Southeastern Conference (SEC), one of the 50 watch listed players for the Naismith College Player of the Year and one of 20 watch listed players for the Karl Malone Award.[15]
