Jackson Shelstad, a prominent player for the Oregon Ducks, is entering the transfer portal after three seasons with the team. This decision comes on the heels of a challenging season where he played only 12 games due to injuries, averaging 15.6 points and 4.9 assists per game in the 2025-26 season.
Over his three years at Oregon, Shelstad has averaged 13.6 points and 3.0 assists per game, showcasing his potential as a significant contributor on the court. He scored a total of 1,077 points, along with 227 rebounds and 240 assists, solidifying his role as a key player for the Ducks.
Before joining the Ducks, Shelstad was recognized as 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.
The 2025-26 season proved to be difficult for the Oregon Ducks, who finished with a record of 12-20 and missed the NCAA Tournament. Shelstad’s departure marks a significant moment for the program, as he becomes the second player from Oregon to enter the transfer portal in just two days.
Observers are keen to see where Shelstad will land next, as his skills and experience could attract interest from numerous programs looking to bolster their rosters. Details remain unconfirmed regarding potential destinations or the reasons behind his decision to transfer.
