College career

Tarke attended Gaithersburg High School and was named to the All-Met team by the Washington Post . After a prep season at Coastal Academy in New Jersey, he committed to play college basketball at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). [1] He had a successful start to his career, averaging 9.9 points and 4.7 rebounds per game, earning ASUN Conference all-freshman team honors. He followed this up by moving full time into the Highlanders' starting lineup, improving his averages to 15.7 points and 6.2 rebounds per game and was named to the first-team All-Atlantic Sun. Following this season, Tarke decided to transfer to a program that would provide a higher level of competition, choosing the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). After sitting out the 2018–19 season, he played one season for the Miners, but found playing time inconsistent. He chose to enter the transfer portal again, this time as an immediately-eligible graduate transfer. [2]

Tarke chose Coppin State and head coach Juan Dixon for his final year of eligibility. On the season, he averaged 16.4 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game for the Eagles, who went on to win a share of the MEAC North division regular season title. At the close of the season, Tarke was named the MEAC Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year. [3]
