CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Charlotte 49ers men's basketball coach Ron Sanchez announced that Cooperstown, New York standout Tyler Bertram, a 6-foot-4 guard, has joined the team. Bertram, who played last year for Vermont Academy in Saxtons River, Vermont, is currently enrolled at Charlotte and will redshirt this season.
"We are ecstatic to have the opportunity to bring Tyler into the 49ers program a year ahead of schedule," Sanchez said. "Tyler brings a skill set that will function well with our program. His character and leadership are a tremendous bonus."
This past season, he was one of the top three-point shooters while averaging nearly 20 points per game for Vermont Academy and Coach Alex Popp.
