Hall of Fame
Billy Myers ('86) was one of Radford basketball's first four-year starters, entering school at a pivotal juncture as the Highlanders transitioned from NAIA competition all the way to NCAA Division I play. A pure shooter, Myers would score 1,178 points during his career, but was often asked to sacrifice his scoring to play point guard and his consistently hard-nosed defense. He started in 104 of 108 games and also ranks among the school's all-time leaders in steals. A team captain and recognized leader on campus, Myers graduated in 1986 with a bachelor's degree in statistics. The Highlanders averaged 15 wins a season during his career from 1982-86, moving up a level in competition each year. The Blacksburg native became Radford's first Division I Academic All-American in basketball and was a Dean's Scholar nominee in math and statistics.
