Texas Southern guard Jekalen Jones: a perimeter piece in a program that has battled through tough SWAC stretches
Jekalen Jones is a Texas Southern guard worth monitoring for backcourt stability and two-way competitiveness, but the available public team data for 2025-26 is too limited to give a trustworthy player-specific stat line. Texas Southern’s women’s team has had inconsistent results and struggled at times with shooting efficiency, which puts a premium on guards who can organize offense, protect the ball, and bring toughness on both ends. If Jones is a fit, it would likely be because of her guard instincts, pace control, and willingness to compete in a physical conference environment rather than gaudy box-score production.
