Thomas Jeffery, also known as TJ is a business major who plays basketball for the Morningside Mustangs. He is from Algona, Iowa and went to Bishop Garrigan where he threw shot put, played basketball and football. He was a big time recruit for football, but decided to pursue the passion he loved, which was basketball. He has one brother who is older than him that went to Iowa. His mom and dad are both big influences in the community of Algona due to his dad being a gym teacher at the high school and his mom being the coach of the Bishop Garrigan girls volleyball team. A fun fact is Tj’s mom was a D1 volleyball player at Drake. Tj said he picked Morningside based off the family like atmosphere that provided him with an at home feeling. He is not sure what he wants to do when he is older, but would love to do something that includes sports.
