Penn State menโ€™s basketball for a big boost Tuesday afternoon when 3-point specialist Myles Dread announced his intention to return to State College for a fifth season in 2022-23.

Dread, who was second on the Nittany Lions in 3-point field goal percentage this past season, broke the news via Twitter.

โ€œThese past four years have been nothing but everything a kid from Detroit, Michigan could ever ask for,โ€ Dread wrote. โ€œTo the fans, the supporters, Legion of Blue, and the staff, I approached that through all the ups and downs your trust and faith in Penn State basketball has never wavered.โ€

Dread also wrote that he played this season with a โ€œseverely torn labrumโ€ in his shooting shoulder. Even still, only Sam Sessomsโ€” who entered the transfer portal almost two weeks agoโ€” was more efficient from beyond the arc on Penn Stateโ€™s team. Dread got surgery to repair his shoulder soon after the season ended.

With Penn Stateโ€™s two top scorers, Jalen Pickett and Seth Lundy, expected back, Dread will give added experience to a Nittany Lionsโ€™ squad thatโ€™s welcoming in the highest-rated recruiting class in program history.

โ€œI look forward to leading this team and giving everything I have as we set out to accomplish our goals,โ€ Dread wrote at the end of his statement.
