Tyger Campbell is an American college basketball player for the UCLA Bruins of the Pac-12 Conference.

High school career

Campbell is the son of Jennifer and Tony Campbell, who played basketball at Luther College, and he is named after Tiger Woods. Campbell attended La Lumiere School in Indiana, which he credits for his "entry into manhood", adding, "it’s a place where you can learn how to be a good teammate." In his sophomore season, he led La Lumiere to the Dick's Sporting Goods championship and a 29–1 record while averaging 11.3 points and 7.8 assists per game. Following his sophomore season, Campbell reclassified to the Class of 2018 because he was ahead academically and felt he was ready for college basketball. As a senior, Campbell averaged 15.5 points and 7.2 assists per game. Campbell initially committed to DePaul on May 8, 2017, but he withdrew his commitment in September. In February 2018, he signed with UCLA.

College career

During a practice before the start of his freshman season, Campbell suffered a knee injury. An MRI revealed it was a torn ACL, and he was forced to sit out the season in which the Bruins finished 17–16. He was cleared to play in September 2019 but was forced to wear a knee brace for a few months. In his collegiate debut on November 9, Campbell scored 15 points in a 69–65 win over Long Beach State. On February 3, 2020, Campbell scored a career-high 22 points in a win over Utah. This performance was a part of a three-game run in which Campbell averaged 15.7 points per game, which he credited to coach Mick Cronin urging him to be more aggressive offensively. After posting his first double-double of 15 points and 11 assists in a 70–63 win over Colorado, Campbell was named Pac-12 freshman of the week on February 24. As a redshirt freshman, Campbell averaged 8.3 points and 5.0 assists per game.
