Jackson Shelstad is entering the transfer portal after three seasons with the Oregon Ducks, marking a significant shift for the talented guard. During the 2025-26 season, Shelstad played in only 12 games due to injuries, yet he managed to average an impressive 15.6 points and 4.9 assists per game.
Over his three years at Oregon, Shelstad compiled an average of 13.6 points and 3.0 assists per game, showcasing his potential as a key player. His time with the Ducks saw him score a total of 1,077 points, alongside 227 rebounds and 240 assists, solidifying his impact on the team.
Before joining the Ducks, Shelstad was a two-time Oregon Gatorade Player of the Year at West Linn High School and was rated as the No. 24 overall player in the 2023 recruiting class. His accolades continued at Oregon, where he was named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman team in 2024 and earned Third Team All-Big Ten honors in 2025.
Despite his individual success, the Oregon Ducks struggled as a team, finishing the 2025-26 season with a disappointing 12-20 record and missing the NCAA Tournament. This lack of team success may have influenced Shelstad’s decision to seek a new opportunity.
His entry into the transfer portal comes just two days after another player from Oregon made a similar move, indicating a potential trend within the program. Observers are now looking to see where Shelstad will land next and how this decision will shape his future in college basketball.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the specific reasons behind Shelstad’s transfer, but his talent and experience make him a sought-after player in the portal.
