Jabrion Spikes likes being a Tiger.
After playing basketball for the Caldwell County Tigers and the Georgetown Tigers, the next stop for Spikes is the Tennessee State Tigers.
Spikes announced on social media Friday morning that he has committed to continuing his basketball career with the Ohio Valley Conference school in Nashville.
TSU is an NCAA Div. I institution. The Tigers went 17-16 this past season and reached the OVC Tournament semifinals before falling to eventual champion SIU Edwardsville 71-69.
Spikes will play for Brian “Penny” Collins, who has spent the last seven seasons on the Tiger bench.
