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, he played in only 12 games due to injuries, averaging an impressive 15.6 points and 4.9 assists per game when on the court.
Over his three seasons at Oregon, Shelstad averaged 13.6 points and 3.0 assists per game, showcasing his scoring ability and playmaking skills. He scored a total of 1,077 points, along with 227 rebounds and 240 assists, solidifying his impact on the team.
Before joining the Ducks, Shelstad was a standout player at West Linn High School, where he earned the Oregon Gatorade Player of the Year title twice. His reputation as a top prospect was further cemented when he was rated as the No. 24 overall player in the 2023 recruiting class.
In his freshman year, Shelstad was named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman team in 2024, and he followed that up with a Third Team All-Big Ten selection in 2025. However, the 2025-26 season was disappointing for the Ducks, who finished with a 12-20 record and missed the NCAA Tournament.
Shelstad’s decision to transfer comes as he becomes the second player from Oregon to enter the transfer portal in just two days, indicating a potential shift within the team’s roster. Observers are keen to see where Shelstad will land next and how this will affect the Ducks moving forward.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding Shelstad’s potential destinations, but his skill set will undoubtedly attract interest from numerous programs looking to bolster their rosters.
