Tyler Kolek

Tyler Kolek is an American College Basketball player who plays in the NCAA Division for Marquette Golden Eagles Men's Basketball. The 6 Feet and 3 Inches (191 cm) athlete is already making a huge name for himself at a young age.

Kolek wears a number eleven and plays as a Guard. His zodiac sign is Aries. Let's learn a bit more about the Marquette Golden Eagles athlete.

Instagram Facts: Who Is Tyler Kolek's Girlfriend?

Tyler Kolek has been lucky in love as he is seeing someone. The relationship is no secret, as he has shared pictures of his girlfriend on his social media. However, we don't know who she is yet as she hasn't been tagged in any of the photos he has posted. Kolek also hasn't mentioned her name in those posts.

Tyler and his girlfriend have been dating for the past three years at the time of this writing. Besides that, there isn't much information on his girl. She was also spotted doing facetime with Kolek when he was honored with the Atlantic 10 MBB Rookie of the Year Award in 2021.

What Is Kolek's Net Worth?

Marquette Golden Eagles player Tyler Kolek has an estimated net worth of $50,000. It doesn't seem much but since he is still young, he probably doesn't have a lot of needs. He is still playing at the college level and is an NCAA athlete. And NCAA athletes don't make a lot of money.

Kolek might not make much, but he saves a lot of money. Since he is one of the top players at Marquette University, he saves money through scholarships and the other facilities the university provides him. 

Universities provide education scholarships to their athletes. They also receive equipment, dining, and other facilities. So, Kolek easily saves a lot of money that would have otherwise needed to be spent on his education.

Has Supportive Parents

Kolek is blessed to have such supportive parents as Kevin Kolek and Lynn Kolek. His mother, Lynn, works as a nurse at Rogers Williams Medical Center. His father, Kevin, is also a tall man like him. No surprise as he used to be a basketball player himself, having played for Southeastern Massachusetts University.

Both Kevin and Lynn live a normal life together in Cumberland. His mom and dad have always supported his decision to play basketball. They have been spotted attending numerous games of their son, sitting in the stands, cheering for the Marquette Golden Eagles Guard.  

Kevin and Lynn are willing to travel a long distance to see their son playing. Press Reader has reported in their article that the parents took a 16-hour trip from their home, Cumberland, to Milwaukee to see their son's first two games of the season.

Education Background

Marquette's young prodigy, Kolek, is currently at Marquette University, balancing his education and basketball. He is currently doing his major in Communication Studies. Besides that, he is also studying Sports Management as an additional.

Kolek started High School at Cumberland High School in his hometown Cumberland. He played Basketball there for a while before getting transferred to St. George's Prep. 

Kolek's Brother, Brandon Kolek, Is Also A Basketball Player

Kolek isn't the only son of the family, as he has a brother named Brandon Kolek, who also plays basketball. He is attending Franklin Pierce University and plays for their basketball team. 

Brandon is slightly taller than his brother and has the same height as Justin Laboy at 6 Feet and 4 Inches (193 cm) and weighs 88 kg. He also plays as a Guard, like his brother, and wears the number ten shirt. 

Brandon made his debut on November 10, 2018, against Dominican University. His career is also going brilliantly, like his brother's. If everything goes as planned, we might see both brothers playing in the NBA soon. Like his brother, he is also in a relationship right now with a woman named Nicole Berkio.

Social Media Presence

Kolek is present on the internet, as you can find on Instagram and Twitter. His Insta page and Twitter Handles are @tyler_kolek and @KolekTyler, respectively. However, he isn't much of a social media user.

Kolek hardly ever posts and tweets, and almost all of his tweets are related to his basketball. He also has very few posts on his Insta page. And apart from a few posts about his girlfriend, it's all about his basketball. He is working to be a professional basketball player so social media probably acts as a distraction to him, and he avoids it.
