Stephon Jelks brings old-school toughness and glass-cleaning grit to Mercer
Stephon Jelks is the kind of forward coaches love: a physical rebounder, efficient scorer, and high-motor player who helped Mercer in the 2017-18 season by averaging 7.2 rebounds and 9.7 points while ranking among the Southern Conference’s top double-double threats. His value goes beyond the box score—reports highlighted his infectious energy, hard play, and ability to impact games as a versatile 6-6 forward who could score inside and out.
