Yusuf Jihad is Eastern Michigan’s steady senior glue guy with touch, IQ, and academic rigor
In the 2024-25 season, Yusuf Jihad gave Eastern Michigan reliable veteran minutes, appearing in all 32 games while averaging 4.3 points and ranking third on the team in free-throw percentage at 83.9% and fourth in three-point percentage at 34.1%.[1][4] His value goes beyond the box score: he’s a disciplined, highly durable senior who has earned four Academic All-MAC honors, and that kind of steadiness, spacing, and low-drama dependability makes him a smart fit for teams wanting a mature forward who won’t hurt you with effort or decision-making.[1][4]
