Tacko Fall: To New Heights

New book alert! UCF Basketball fans will be familiar with the author of one of our newest autobiographies, Tacko Fall: To New Heights. Great book to read with your kids or younger siblings; it tells the story of Tacko’s early life in Senegal and immigration to America to play basketball. Out of forty colleges vying for his attention, Fall chose University of Central Florida where he helped lead the Knights to the 2019 NCAAS tournament. He qualified for the NBA draft by his sophomore year but chose to finish his degree first in 2019 and was signed by the Boston Celtics after graduation. Get the whole inspiring and fun story from our Curriculum Materials Center in the Education building rm 194.
