Penn State menโs 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.
โThese past four years have been nothing but everything a kid from Detroit, Michigan could ever ask for,โ Dread wrote. โTo 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 โseverely 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 Stateโs team. Dread got surgery to repair his shoulder soon after the season ended.

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