Jerome Brings Championship Pedigree to Pacers Workout

After experiencing the highest of highs and the lowest of lows in college basketball, Ty Jerome is ready to see what the NBA has to offer.

The 6-5 point guard helped lead Virginia on one of the most memorable national championship runs in recent memory this spring. A year after being the first number one seed to lose to a 16 seed in NCAA Tournament history, the Cavaliers earned redemption in 2019, pulling off three straight improbable comebacks beginning in the Elite Eight to capture the first national championship in school history.

Together with Indianapolis native Kyle Guy and De'Andre Hunter, Jerome was one of the catalysts of Virginia's offense during their many shining moments throughout the tournament run.
