Mar 26, 2026

Cal State East Bay's senior guard Tyree Campbell has been named the National Basketball Coaches Association (NABC) Division II Player of the Year.
 
Campbell earned the CCAA Player of the Year, the D2CCA West Region Player of the Year, and was an All-American selection. He averaged 14.1 points per game and helped lead Cal State East Bay to a 33-0 record to start the season. Along the way, the Pioneers captured the CCAA regular season championship, the CCAA Tournament Championship, and the NCAA West Regional Championship. CSUEB is the first team to go undefeated in a 22-game CCAA schedule and the first to go undefeated in conference play since Cal State Bakersfield in 1992-93.
 
The Rancho Cucamonga native shot .501 percent from the field, .442 percent from 3-point range, and averaged 1.59 steals per game. He was ranked in the top 10 of the CCAA in all three categories. Campbell also averaged 4.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists. He scored in double-figures in 29 of the Pioneers' 34 games, including 20 points in the regional championship game to lead Cal State East Bay to the program's first Elite Eight.
 
Campbell is the first CCAA Men's Basketball student-athlete to be named the NABC Player of the Year since Cal State Bakersfield's Kebu Stewart in 1997, and just the second since the award was started in 1983.
