Jason Nelson brings veteran Poise and two-way grit to Youngstown State’s backcourt
In the 2025-26 season, redshirt senior guard Jason Nelson gives Youngstown State a compact, experienced floor general who can steady an offense, pressure the ball, and chip in across the board. He’s listed at 5-foot-10 and has shown steady production as a starter, with 2025-26 team stat leaders showing him among YSU’s primary contributors in points and assists. The real appeal is his toughness and reliability: a small guard who plays bigger than his size, keeps possessions organized, and fits well for a team needing maturity, pace, and defensive pesky-ness.
