Shiloh (Ga.) power forward Tylis Jordan narrowed his choices down to Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia Tech, LSU, Auburn, and Ole Miss earlier in the week, per On3’s Joe Tipton. And on Friday he made his choice known by picking Chris Beard and Ole Miss.
According to On3’s Top-150 Player Rankings, Jordan is the No. 24 overall recruit in the 2025 class. He’s also the 7th-ranked power forward and the No. 5 player in the state of Georgia. In 2023-2024, he averaged 21.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals per game. He was a key cog in helping Shiloh finish with a 23-5 overall record.

Chris Beard’s reputation and resume stood out to Tylis Jordan from the jump.
“Coach (Chris) Beard has been a winner everywhere he goes. He brought Ole Miss to a 20-win season in his first year,” Jordan said. “That’s big coming from where they were. He knows what it takes to be a winner and that is always good, being a winner. He wants to get me where I want to go.”
On3’s Jamie Shaw is a big fan of Jordan’s game. He thinks, with some time and growth, the sky is the limit for the 6-foot-9, 210 pound prospect.
“Tylis Jordan has eye-popping physical tools with excellent length, a strong base, and projectable frame. He is also a fluid athlete with natural pop. Over the last year, Jordan has developed his game into a translatable direction,” Shaw said. “He plays a lot out of the high post. He has shown he can knock down the mid range jumper off the catch. He can also attack downhill off two dribbles and put pressure on the rim. Jordan is an intriguing defensive prospect.
“He has natural timing around the basket, can slide his feet with perimeter based forwards, and get into the passing lanes. He still needs to continue working on his footwork and defensive rotations. Offensively, Jordan can knock down a three, would still like to see him work on that release and balance, but that is projecting as a weapon,” Shaw said. “At this point, Jordan is still coming into his own. He has shown a clear archetype pathway toward the highest levels. He has a lot of the tools that the highest levels of basketball crave. Now it is about reps and putting it all together.”
