ATLANTA (July 28, 2022) - Overtime Elite kicked off day four of its signing week with the announcement of point guard Jeremy Fears and big man Jayden Williams. Both players bring elite skill sets and a competitive edge to the league as season two kicks off this fall in Atlanta. Fears and Williams join other highly-coveted prospects including Naas Cunningham, Trey Parker, Kanaan Carlyle, Jahki Howard, Bryson Tiller, ZZ Clark and Tyler Bey as OTE&rsquo;s newest signees. Fears and Williams have signed a scholarship option preserving their NCAA basketball eligibility.
As season two approaches, Fears and Williams will compete against some of the best teenage basketball players including Ausar and Amen Thompson, Jazian Gortman, and Alexandre Sarr. Building on the success of OTE&rsquo;s historic first season, Fears and Williams&rsquo; games will be showcased for millions of fans this season across social media channels and YouTube.
Fears is a 6&rsquo;1&rdquo; point guard from Joliet, Illinois. He is a savvy point guard that loves to get his teammates involved first with great vision on the court. He can also finish well around the basket and has a quick release. He has had a big summer playing in the FIBA U17 World Cup in Malaga, Spain, earning honorable mention honors from ESPN for being one of the best players in the tournament. In the championship game, Fears finished with 17 points and a game-high six assists in a 79-67 win over Spain for the title. It was his second experience with USA Basketball after winning a gold medal in the FIBA U16 Americas Championship in Mexico last summer. Fears is currently committed to play at Michigan State.
&ldquo;Jeremy&rsquo;s competitive spirit is the first thing that comes to my mind when I think about the dynamic he brings to our league,&rdquo; said Tim Fuller, OTE Vice President of Recruiting and Player Personnel. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s the definition of a competitive and elite defender that will add toughness and physicality to our program. He plays with a bit of a chip on his shoulder which makes him difficult to guard and even more difficult to escape on defense.&rdquo;
&ldquo;Jeremy is a true point guard and makes everyone on his team better when he&rsquo;s on the floor,&rdquo; said Kevin Ollie, OTE Head Coach and Director of Player Development. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s had some great experiences already playing with USA Basketball and high level players all over the world, so he&rsquo;ll bring that into our program as we continue developing his game.&rdquo;
Williams is a five star, 6&rsquo;9&rdquo; center from Chicago. He most recently played at Brookwood High School in Lilburn, Georgia where he was a force in the paint on both ends of the floor using his 7-5 wingspan and athleticism. Last season, he recorded a triple double with 10 blocks. Williams has also developed his outside shot and can stretch the floor. Williams plays AAU for the Atlanta Celtics.
&ldquo;Jayden&rsquo;s shot blocking and finishing at the rim is a welcome addition to our front court,&rdquo; said Tim Fuller, OTE Vice President of Recruiting and Player Personnel. &ldquo;Two of the things that stand out about Jayden are his ability to run the floor, and he can catch and finish through traffic.&rdquo;&nbsp;
&ldquo;Jayden&rsquo;s an elite player with a large upside who will benefit tremendously from our development resources,&rdquo; said Kevin Ollie, OTE Head Coach and Director of Player Development. &ldquo;You can&rsquo;t teach the length and athleticism he brings to the court, so as he uses OTE&rsquo;s resources to continue developing his overall game, his potential is limitless.&rdquo;
Every contracted OTE player is offered a six-figure salary, with a guaranteed minimum salary of at least $100,000 per year, plus bonuses and shares of equity in Overtime. In addition, players will participate in revenue from use of their name, image and likeness, including through sales of custom jerseys, trading cards, video games and NFTs. Starting this season, players have the option to choose a scholarship or salary option.&nbsp;

ATLANTA (July 27, 2022) - Overtime Elite announced the signing of two elite prospects today - point guard ZZ Clark and small forward Tyler Bey. Keeping the momentum of OTE Signing Week, both players bring dynamic skills and athleticism to the league as it prepares for its second season of elite basketball. Clark and Bey join other highly-coveted prospects including Naas Cunningham, Trey Parker, Kanaan Carlyle, Jahki Howard and Bryson Tiller as OTE&rsquo;s newest signees. Both players signed a scholarship option preserving their NCAA basketball eligibility.
With season two on the horizon, Clark and Bey will compete against some of the best teenage basketball players including Ausar and Amen Thompson, Jazian Gortman, and Alexandre Sarr. Building on the success of OTE&rsquo;s historic first season, Clark and Bey&rsquo;s games will be showcased for millions of fans this season across social media channels and YouTube.
Clark is a 6&rsquo;2&rdquo; point guard from Brentwood, Tennessee. He committed to Illinois after a standout sophomore season at Windermere Prep in Orlando, Florida. The strong, explosive guard averaged 11.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.3 steals leading his team to a 20-8 record before losing in the FHSAA Class 3A regional semifinals to the eventual state champions during his sophomore season. He played AAU for The Skill Factory this summer. His brother, Skyy Clark, will be a freshman at Illinois this fall.
&ldquo;If you&rsquo;ve seen ZZ play, you know he&rsquo;s an electric playmaker in the open court,&rdquo; said Tim Fuller, OTE Vice President of Recruiting and Player Personnel. &nbsp;&ldquo;His unparalleled discipline makes him a true floor general, and the competition in our program is going to help maximize his potential to be a lockdown defender.
&ldquo;ZZ is joining a group of elite ball handlers at OTE and I&rsquo;m excited to see him thrive in our league,&rdquo; said Kevin Ollie, OTE Head Coach and Director of Player Development. &ldquo;He&rsquo;ll be pushed daily to be the best playmaker, and I&rsquo;m looking forward to seeing his confidence on the court translate into competition.&rdquo;
Bey is a 6&rsquo;8&rdquo; small forward from Newark, New Jersey. Last year, he played at Fairfax High School in Los Angeles, California and helped lead them to a city championship. Being from New Jersey, he&rsquo;s played for the NY Rens with former OTE, and current San Antonio Spurs player Dominick Barlow and new OTE signee Naas Cunningham before playing for the Oakland Soldiers this summer. &nbsp;Long, athletic and capable of hitting shots from deep, he has three and d potential at the next level and has seen his recruitment take off this summer. Bey plays hard and is very active on the offensive glass.
&ldquo;The striking thing about Tyler is his tremendous size and skill for his position,&rdquo; said Tim Fuller, OTE Vice President of Recruiting and Player Personnel. &ldquo;His activity on the glass makes him a valuable rebounder who will bring a scrappy energy and unmatched work ethic, and his consistency will add skill and depth to our league.&rdquo;&nbsp;
&ldquo;The first thing I noticed about Tyler is his size and his potential for development,&rdquo; said Kevin Ollie, OTE Head Coach and Director of Player Development. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s committed to the work and has seen the benefits of our OTE resources through his relationship with Dominick Barlow. I&rsquo;m excited to see him follow in Dom&rsquo;s footsteps and take advantage of all the development opportunities in our league.&rdquo;
Every contracted OTE player is offered a six-figure salary, with a guaranteed minimum salary of at least $100,000 per year, plus bonuses and shares of equity in Overtime. In addition, players will participate in revenue from use of their name, image and likeness, including through sales of custom jerseys, trading cards, video games and NFTs.

ATLANTA (July 26, 2022) - Overtime Elite announced the signing of two highly-rated prospects from Georgia, Jahki Howard and Bryson Tiller, during day two of OTE Signing Week. Howard and Tiller join Naas Cunningham, Trey Parker and Kanaan Carlyle as OTE&rsquo;s newest signees for the highly-anticipated second season of the league in Atlanta. Both players signed a scholarship option preserving their NCAA basketball eligibility.
The five star forwards will compete against some of the best teenage basketball players including Ausar and Amen Thompson, Jazian Gortman, and Alexandre Sarr. Building on the momentum of OTE&rsquo;s historic first season, Howard and Tiller&rsquo;s games will be showcased for millions of fans this season across social media channels and YouTube.
Howard is a 6&rsquo;7&rdquo; small forward from Norcross, Georgia. He joins OTE after one year playing for Donda Academy. Howard uses his length and athleticism to be disruptive on the defensive end and get his looks on offense. He also has USA Basketball experience participating in the 2021 USA Men's U16 National Team training camp. Before transferring to Donda Academy for his sophomore year, Howard played for Norcross High School his freshman season.
&ldquo;The first thing that comes to mind with Jahki is his explosiveness,&rdquo; said Tim Fuller, OTE Vice President of Recruiting and Player Personnel. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s a wing with tremendous length and a great playmaker in the open court, not to mention his flashy finishes in transition. His dynamic personality is going to light up the court&rdquo;
&ldquo;I can&rsquo;t wait to get Jahki in the building - his energy on the court and dedication to perfecting his game comes through every day,&rdquo; said Kevin Ollie, OTE Head Coach and Director of Player Development. &ldquo;Working with our elite skills development team and playing against top level competition is going to turn him into a powerful defender and consistent shotmaker.&rdquo;
Tiller is a 6&rsquo;8&rdquo; forward from Atlanta. He&rsquo;s ranked number six in the ESPN25 for 2025. The rising sophomore attended Pace Academy during his freshman year. Last summer before he was in high school, Tiller played at the 17U level with Atl Xpress and looked very comfortable playing against players that were at least three years older than him including current OTE player TJ Clark. Coming off of a strong freshman season, he participated in USA Basketball&rsquo;s U17 Minicamp. College coaches haven&rsquo;t been able to make contact yet with Tiller, but he already holds several high major offers to colleges.
&ldquo;We found a young phenom in Bryson Tiller, the first rising sophomore we&rsquo;ve recruited to OTE,&rdquo; said Tim Fuller, OTE Vice President of Recruiting and Player Personnel. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m continually impressed with his ability to stretch defenses and his terrific court vision.&rdquo;&nbsp;
&ldquo;Bryson will be the youngest player in our league, but I was instantly impressed with his maturity and poise on and off the court,&rdquo; said Kevin Ollie, OTE Head Coach and Director of Player Development. &ldquo;With our development resources, we are looking to help him transform into a multi-faceted player with enhanced perimeter skills and develop his ability to guard multiple positions.&rdquo;
Every contracted OTE player is offered a six-figure salary, with a guaranteed minimum salary of at least $100,000 per year, plus bonuses and shares of equity in Overtime.

ATLANTA (Monday, July 25) - Treymane &ldquo;Trey&rdquo; Parker and Kanaan Carlyle, two of the best high school players in the country, have signed a scholarship to join Overtime Elite for the league&rsquo;s second highly anticipated season. They join 2024 #1 rated prospect Naasir Cunningham, and like Cunningham, they have not accepted a salary, preserving their NCAA basketball eligibility.
OTE returns to action this fall for its second season, with Parker and Carlyle competing against some of the best teenage basketball players including Ausar and Amen Thompson, Jazian Gortman, Nass Cunningham and Alexandre Sarr. Parker and Carlyle's games will be viewed by millions this season across OTE's social media channels and YouTube.
Originally from Fayetteville, North Carolina, Parker is a 6&rsquo;2&rdquo; shooting guard that previously attended Vertical Academy. Parker is a high flier on the court, whose jaw-dropping dunks have been viewed globally by millions. His game extends far beyond dunking with his elite shooting range. In the Underclassmen All-American Game, he made 10 three pointers on his way to scoring 42 points. In two games against Overtime Elite last season for Vertical Academy, Parker averaged 19 points and scored a game high 24 points in the second game.
&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve spent my career working with the top athletes around the world, and Trey&rsquo;s natural explosiveness continues to blow me away&rdquo; said Tim Fuller, OTE Vice President of Recruiting. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re excited to see the results of putting a professional basketball development program around him because the sky's the limit.&rdquo;&nbsp;
&ldquo;Having the athleticism that Trey possesses is something you can&rsquo;t teach, so OTE is the perfect place for his next phase of basketball development,&rdquo; said Kevin Ollie, OTE Head Coach and Director of Player Development. &ldquo;My coaching staff and I are excited to build off his terrific foundation and prepare him to have success on and off the basketball court for years to come.&rdquo;
Carlyle is a 6&rsquo;2&rdquo; combo guard from Alpharetta, Georgia. The five-star prospect previously attended Milton and is committed to Stanford for college. He&rsquo;s had a big summer so far winning a gold medal playing on USA&rsquo;s team in the FIBA U18 Americas Championship in Tijuana, Mexico. At Milton, he led his team to a state championship his sophomore season going 8-10 from the free throw line in the final minute to ice the game. Carlye is known for being a dynamic playmaker for his team on the offensive end and is able to use his length on the defensive end to be a tenacious defender.&nbsp;
&ldquo;When I think about the dedication and investment it takes to be an elite player, I think of Kanaan Carlyle,&rdquo; said Tim Fuller, OTE Vice President of Recruiting and Player Personnel. &ldquo;He has a warrior mentality on both sides of the ball - he won&rsquo;t be outworked on any possession. He&rsquo;s received much-deserved recognition for being a terrific playmaker, adding a level of intensity and ball-handling to our league.&rdquo;
&ldquo;The energy Kanaan brings to every game is going to make a direct impact on our league,&rdquo; &nbsp;said Kevin Ollie, OTE Head Coach and Director of Player Development. &ldquo;He joins a group of talented ball-handlers at OTE, and that daily grind of elite competition is going to take his game to another level.&rdquo;
