About Me

More Than Basketball

My name is TJ Young Jr. and I'm a Class of 2029 guard from Texas. Basketball has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up around the game taught me that talent only takes you so far—discipline, consistency, and preparation are what separate good from great.

While many people know my family's basketball background, I'm focused on creating my own path. Every workout, practice, and game is an opportunity to improve and earn respect through hard work.

I take pride in being a versatile player who can score, create for teammates, defend multiple positions, and do whatever it takes to help my team win.

My goal isn't to follow footsteps. My goal is to leave my own legacy.

The Dynamic Prep Era · Sophomore Year

FROM PROVING IT
TO BELONGING.

Freshman year at Hebron was about proving I could play at the varsity level and stand my ground against older, stronger, more experienced players. It was a year of listening, learning, and stacking reps until the moments stopped feeling too big.

Sophomore year with Dynamic Prep is a different mission. New jersey. New coaches. New level of competition every night. The goal isn't just to keep up — it's to belong, to lead, and to force the game to respect the work I've been putting in behind the scenes.

“Freshman year was to show I could do it. Sophomore year is to chase it, get better, and show I belong.”

Same standard. Bigger stage. Every practice, every possession, every rep is another deposit in the bank.

In My Own Words

I'm a Class of 2029 guard-wing from Dallas–Fort Worth, competing for Dynamic Prep and Team Thad EYBL. I take pride in being versatile — scoring at all three levels, creating for teammates, and guarding multiple positions.

My focus is showing up every day, leading by example, and continuing to build my own legacy on and off the floor.
