Jackson Shelstad is entering the transfer portal after three seasons with the Oregon Ducks, a decision that comes on the heels of a challenging 2025-26 season where he played in only 12 games due to injuries. Despite these setbacks, Shelstad managed to average 15.6 points and 4.9 assists per game during this limited time on the court.
Over his three years at Oregon, Shelstad showcased his talent by averaging 13.6 points and 3.0 assists per game. His impressive performance earned him accolades, including being named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman team in 2024 and Third Team All-Big Ten in 2025. He scored a total of 1,077 points, along with 227 rebounds and 240 assists during his tenure with the Ducks.
Before joining Oregon, 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 arrival at Oregon was highly anticipated, and he quickly became a prominent figure in the Ducks lineup.
However, the 2025-26 season proved to be a disappointment for both Shelstad and the Ducks, who finished with a 12-20 record and missed the NCAA Tournament. This season’s struggles, coupled with Shelstad’s injury woes, have likely influenced his decision to seek new opportunities.
Interestingly, Shelstad is the second player from Oregon to enter the transfer portal in just two days, indicating a potential shift within the team’s roster dynamics. Observers are now left to speculate on where Shelstad might land next, as he looks to revitalize his career in a new environment.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding potential destinations for Shelstad, but his talent and experience make him a valuable asset for any program looking to bolster their roster.
