WILLIAMSBURG — William & Mary head men’s basketball coach Brian Earl announced the addition of transfer all-conference guard Kyle Pulliam (Silver Spring, Md. / Our Lady of Good Counsel / St. Thomas Aquinas) to the Tribe roster for the 2024-25 season.
“Kyle comes from the talent rich area and a great high school program in the WCAC at Good Counsel,” Earl said. “He played for a winning college program the last two years at St. Thomas Aquinas and is an excellent shooter. Kyle is a 40-plus percent shooter from 3 over his career and he can also make an impact with his length and speed.”
As a sophomore last season at St. Thomas Aquinas, Pulliam earned All-East Coast Conference Second Team honors, averaging 14.3 points and nearly four rebounds per game. He shot 44.4% from 3-point range and averaged 2.1 3-pointers made per game.
Pulliam capped his second season with the Spartans posting back-to-back 20-point games in leading the team to the East Coast Conference Tournament championship. He was named the Most Outstanding Player of the East Coast Conference Tournament, including scoring a game-high 21 points in the title game vs. Daemen.
The 6-5 guard enjoyed a number of memorable performances in 2023-24. He scored a season-high 30 points on 9-of-15 shooting, 3-of-4 from 3, and 9-of-11 at the free throw line at Daemen in February. The following game at D’Youville, Pulliam tallied 29 points on 5-of-6 from 3-point range.
Over his two seasons at St. Thomas Aquinas, Pulliam led the program to a 51-11 record with two ECC Championships and two NCAA Division II East Regional appearances. He scored 663 points (10.7 per game), averaged four rebounds per game, and shot 43.9% (97-of-221) from 3. As a freshman in 2022-23, Pulliam upped his scoring to nine points per game in ECC action and shot 51% from 3-point range (24-of-47) during the league schedule. He was a three-time ECC Rookie of the Week pick.
In high school, Pulliam was a standout guard for Our Lady of Good Counsel in the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference. He was named honorable mention all-league as a senior, averaging 11 points and five rebounds per game.
Basketball runs in the Pulliam family. Kyle’s older sister, Lindsey, played four years in the Big Ten at Northwestern and was drafted No. 27 overall in the 2021 WNBA Draft by the Atlanta Dream. She is currently playing professionally overseas.
