Idaho State’s Elite Rebounding Guard with 4-Steal Career High and 56% Shooting Precision
Jake O'Neil, the 6-4 Idaho State Bengals guard, stands out as a rare rebounding force among guards, averaging 8.5 RPG in the 2024-25 season while shooting 45.3% FG and 11.7 PPG[5]. His differentiator is intensity: he set a career high with 4 steals in a 2025 road loss against Northern[1], showcasing relentless defensive pressure. A Fruitland, Idaho native with back-to-back NAIA Final Four experience from his senior year at College of Idaho[2], O'Neil brings championship DNA, high stamina, and a team-first mindset. Though he signed with Arizona State (Sun Devils) for 2025[4], his 2025-26 international stats show 15.1 PPG and 5.6 RPG[3], proving he thrives under pressure. Ideal for teams needing a versatile, high-intensity guard who rebounds like a forward and defends like a specialist.
