Montrezl Harrell Facts
- Montrezl, near the end of his high school career, had committed to play college basketball for coach Seth Greenberg at Virginia Tech, a public land-grant research university in Blacksburg, Virginia. However, after Seth was fired from his position, Montrezl was released from his commitment and he chose to join the University of Louisville.
- In his freshman season, in a reserve role, he helped the Louisville Cardinals win the 2013 NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) Championship. It was the team’s first national title since 1986. However, in February 2018, the NCAA vacated Louisville Cardinals‘ entire tournament run, including its national title, due to the unearthing of a 2015 s*x scandal involving the team’s management.
- In 2014, he was named the ‘AAC (American Athletic Conference) Most Improved Player’ and was also included in the ‘First-team All-AAC‘. In the 2014–15 season, he averaged 15.7 points and 9.2 rebounds per game and was the inaugural winner of the Karl Malone Award in 2015. The award has been presented annually thereafter, to the top men’s collegiate power forward in the United States.
- One of Montrezl’s hobbies is collecting and designing sneakers. He often connects with artists on social media who could make his shoe designs a reality. A related quirk is that he wears different shoes during the first and second half of basketball matches.
