Ferrara-Jones brings microwave scoring and big-shot upside to UCSC
In the 2025-26 season, Andrew Ferrara-Jones has flashed instant-offense value for UC Santa Cruz, including a 21-point outburst against UChicago, building on a 2024-25 campaign where he started 23 games, averaged 12.0 points per game, and posted a school-record 39-point game on 14-of-17 shooting with eight threes. His appeal is simple: he can get hot fast, punish defenses from deep, and carry a team for stretches. For a roster needing a confident, battle-tested guard with real scoring gravity, he looks like a smart fit.
