I am grateful and blessed for the opportunity SVSU has given me to grow as a QB and a leader. Although things didn't unfold as planned, my love for the program remains. I'm now entering the transfer portal, ready to compete and win a national championship at any division.
Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense.
Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I’m going to “come back stronger”. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what’s hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I’m rambling, but I know this is something I’ll look back on when I’m through this, as something I’m proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y’all seeing the kid ugly cry.
At 25, I’ve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I’ll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special.
Indy, I’m sorry. If any fan base doesn’t deserve this, it’s y’all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. “There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” And that’s exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right.
My journey to get to where I am today wasn’t by happenstance, I’ve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every single experience that’s led me here. I’m grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don’t “have to” go through this, I get to go through this. I’m grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.

Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."
One of my favorite humans on the planet was recognized tonight at the Board of Police Commissioners Meeting for performing a heroic act. He would never tell you. He would never post about it. That’s why he is special, and special people don’t need to toot their own horn. People like me will do it for them.
“Citizens Chad Grothen and Craig Ray were presented Citizen Commendation Awards for their role in running to action without hesitation at a serious injury crash on Hadley Road in June. Both of these individuals made a difference in providing aid and assisting victims out of vehicles including children. Thank you for making a difference.”
We say it all the time: “Work hard. Be kind. Do right.” Coach Ray models it all the time — even when nobody is watching. Avon is lucky to have him!
