Youngstown State’s streaky but dangerous shot-maker
Blackshear is a junior guard whose value is tied to perimeter scoring and shot-making bursts: in 2025-26, he averaged 6.8 points per game for Youngstown State and shot 32.8% from three, with a season-high 22 points and a perfect 9-for-9 outing against Detroit Mercy.[8][9][14] The differentiator is his upside as a momentum scorer—he also had nine double-figure games and recently strung together multiple strong performances, suggesting he can swing a game when he’s confident.[14][13] For a team, he looks like a useful rotation guard if you want spacing and quick offense, but consistency is the key question.[8][13]
