6'4" Power Guard with 26-Point Explosion and Proven Scoring Grit
Jalen Forrest, a 6'4", 230-lb junior guard from Atlanta, brings a rare 'power guard' physicality to Southeastern Louisiana, averaging 7.9 points and 2.6 rebounds per game in the 2025-26 season while shooting 38% from the field [1][7]. His standout differentiator is a 26-point season high on February 2, 2026, proving he can explode for big nights when needed [8]. Before joining the Lions, Forrest started 21 of 26 games at CSU, averaging 13.4 PPG, showcasing immediate scoring reliability and high-intensity play [4]. While his assists (0.6) and rebounding are modest, his size allows him to bully smaller defenders, making him a perfect fit for teams needing a tough, physical scoring option who can absorb contact and finish [1][2]. He is now looking to join a new program, offering a ready-made, gritty scorer with a proven track record of starting and leading [5].
