LYNCHBURG, Va. – Florida native TJ Drain has been added to the Liberty men's basketball roster for the 2025-26 school year.

"TJ Drain is a fantastic leader as well as a very good basketball player with all of the measurables who is only scratching the surface of the kind of player he is going to be," said Liberty Men's Basketball Head Coach Ritchie McKay. "Like all of our signees, he comes from a terrific high school program and has an incredibly bright future as a Flame."
