Ferguson’s Rise: Titans Guard Earns BSL Player of the Week Honours

January 30, 2026

The KW Titans continue to shine, and guard Tarkus Ferguson is leading the charge. Standing 6’4” and hailing from Belleville, Illinois, Ferguson has emerged as one of the Titans’ most impactful players this season. The former UIC Flames standout was recently named Basketball Super League (BSL) Player of the Week, a recognition that reflects his growing influence on the court.

Ferguson brings a combination of size, speed, and shooting ability that makes him a constant threat. Known for providing instant offence, he has delivered multiple standout performances, earning “Hot Off the Bench” honours in several games this season. 

His recent play has been especially impressive. In one key outing, Ferguson poured in 24 points while adding four rebounds and two steals, helping keep momentum firmly in the Titans’ favour.

Ferguson’s impact extends beyond scoring. His perimeter shooting and defensive versatility allow him to influence the game in multiple ways. During a recent home stand, his strong interior play and timely shot-making helped spark a decisive 10-2 run that shifted momentum and ignited the crowd at The Aud.

“I’m a combo, so I’m defending guards, forwards, doing whatever the team needs,” Ferguson says of his versatility. “It’s about putting the ball in the basket, getting my teammates involved, and just bringing energy, passion, and effort.”

After going undrafted in the 2020 NBA Draft, Ferguson has continued to refine his game at the professional level, including time with Rayos de Hermosillo in Mexico’s CIBACOPA league. His journey reflects persistence, adaptability, and a commitment to growth.

Now representing the Titans, Ferguson is making the most of every opportunity. Whether coming off the bench or closing out tight games. And with his recent surge and Player of the Week recognition, Tarkus Ferguson is proving that he is not only a difference-maker for the KW Titans, but one of the league’s most exciting guards to watch.

Reflecting on what drives his recent success, Ferguson keeps his focus simple: “I always want to win in life. That’s the main thing. I love winning; I don’t like being in the losing category. You just have to keep the main thing the main thing.”

As the season continues, fans can expect more big moments from No. 4 as he helps drive the Titans’ push forward.
