Tyreese Smith
Tyreese Smith is a creative, basketball representative and scout from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. After 12 years of playing the game he loves, Smith has turned to the sports media world to change the narrative of youth sports.
​
Smith founded Reese's Prep Network, also known as The RPN Factory, on January 28, 2020. Mid-way through his freshman year of college, Smith was attending local high school basketball games and left very impressed with some players, but he also wondered to himself, "Why aren't some of these players receiving the right recognition?"
​
He laughed to himself at first about even creating his own platform, but little did he know, he had the power to change everything. Smith spent the first 3 months of quarantine, from March until June, developing his website and opened his services to musical artists and other creatives across the east coast. Although, he was successful with his time in entertainment, Smith had thoughts of switching over to the sports industry to follow his passion.
In July, Smith put his new plan into effect.
​
Since then, Smith has worked with over 100 prospects throughout the United States, and has opened his services to international players from Canada, England and beyond.
​
Smith has gained the respect of many people across the globe within his services, and is looking forward to expanding beyond his platform past his college career.
