In the small but spirited town of Raynham, big news is brewing for high school basketball fans! Timmy Bollin, a rising senior, has just made waves by announcing his commitment to Brown University, marking a significant milestone as he prepares to join the Ivy League as part of the Class of 2030.

A Bit About Timmy

At 6-foot-6, Timmy has not only the height but the skill to back it up. He plays as a guard for the Middlesex Magic, showcasing his talent on a larger stage in the Under Armour Association (UAA). Last season, while at The Newman School, he averaged an impressive 7.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 3 assists per game. He really turned heads during one game, scoring a personal best of 22 points against Premier Prep!

Timmy has proven to be a key player on his team, helping lead The Newman School to the coveted NEPSAC AAA title during the 2024-25 season. Notably, his journey in high school basketball has been a family affair, as he played alongside his younger brother Preston, adding a personal touch to the competitive spirit.

From Bridgewater-Raynham to Brown

Timmy began his high school basketball career at Bridgewater-Raynham, where he made an immediate impact as a freshman. Averaging 11 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 steals per game, he quickly earned recognition by being named a Southeast Conference All-Star and appearing on the 2021-22 Taunton Daily Gazette All-Scholastic list.

After his time at Bridgewater-Raynham, the talented player transferred to St. Sebastian’s School in Needham, where he continued to hone his skills over two years. Eventually, Timmy made the strategic move to The Newman School, where he re-classified for the Class of 2026. This decision has certainly paid off as he now prepares for a future in Ivy League basketball!

Brown University Awaits

Timmy’s commitment comes at an exciting time for Brown University, which recently wrapped up a season with a record of 14-13. While they missed the chance to compete in the Ivy Madness tournament, the addition of a player like Timmy Bollin may just be the spark the program needs to take it to new heights.

Keeping It in the Family

Timmy isn’t the only talented athlete in his family. His father, Tim Bollin, made his mark playing NCAA Division 1 basketball for Colgate, showing that athletic prowess runs in the family. Timmy’s older sister, Shay, is currently making waves for the University of Wisconsin after transferring from Illinois and Duke, while his mother, Laurie, also played Division 3 basketball at Ithaca. Laurie is not just a former player; she’s deeply invested in the sport as the president and head coach for multiple levels of the AAU Bay State Jaguars. The family dynamic is closed-knit, with younger brother Preston also on the team at The Newman School, and younger sister Avery playing for the Dexter Southfield School in Brookline.

Raynham’s Athletic Pride

This commitment comes on the heels of another exciting local sports announcement. Another Raynham resident, Brody Bumila, also a member of the Class of 2026, recently committed to Texas for baseball. It seems that Raynham is becoming quite the hotbed for aspiring young athletes looking to make their mark!

Timmy Bollin’s journey to Brown University is not just a personal achievement but a proud moment for the entire Raynham community. As he prepares to don the Brown colors in 2026, everyone is eagerly anticipating what this talented young player will bring to the Ivy League basketball court!
