Jeremy Fears Jr. is Michigan State’s engine — elite passer, high-IQ floor general, and an All-Big Ten force
Fears is the kind of guard who changes a team’s ceiling: in the 2025-26 season, he led Michigan State with 15.3 points and 9.1 assists per game, ranked No. 1 nationally in assists per game, and was named first-team All-Big Ten plus Sporting News Third Team All-American. He’s a tough, steady playmaker with excellent assist-to-turnover value, strong free-throw shooting, and proven big-game command — but the real separator is his feel and tempo control. He also returned to MSU after testing the NBA Draft, which says plenty about his competitiveness and unfinished upside.
