Jayden Stone is Mizzou’s rugged, efficient two-way backcourt engine
In the 2025-26 season, Jayden Stone gave Missouri a steady veteran presence: 13.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 23 steals, and a scorching 48.7% from the field, while also hitting 38.5% from three and leading the Tigers with 1.92 made threes per game. He’s a 6-foot-4 guard who plays bigger than his label, rebounds well for his position, and has shown he can shoulder offense without getting hunted defensively. The caution flag: he missed time with a hand injury, so durability is part of the conversation—but when healthy, he looks like a plug-and-play college bucket with some grit.
