Tai’Reon Joseph Season 2024-25

Prior to UTSA
Shooting guard who rates as a four-star transfer prospect (Rivals) coming to San Antonio after playing last season at Southern, Joseph is originally from Baton Rouge, La. A lightning-in-a-bottle scorer who is fast with the ball in his hands, Joseph played in 19 games for the Jaguars with 16 starts in 2023-24. He crested double-figures in 18 games, including performances of 20+ points in 11 contests. Nicknamed “Scootah”, he’s proven difficult to contain in transition and coming off ball screens, and was the top scorer in the Southwestern Athletic Conference at 20.5 points per game with 43.8 percent shooting, while also chipping in 3.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.6 steals per outing. However, injury brought his season in Baton Rouge to an early end. Before SU, he played 29 games at Radford after making 27 appearances as a rookie at Austin Peay. Playing alongside Javonte Smart (LSU) and Reece Beekman (Virginia) in high school, Joseph helped Scotlandville Magnet School to four consecutive state championships and a No. 12 position on the 2019-20 ESPN High School Top 25. Was named a Louisiana Sports Writers Association All-State selection as a senior averaging 18.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists, shooting 48.9 percent from the floor – following two straight All-State Honorable Mention seasons.
