Jalen Kampen brings efficient scoring and size to CMU’s backcourt
Kampen has given Central Michigan a steady freshman guard option in the 2025-26 season, averaging 4.1 points in 14.0 minutes while shooting 42.3% from the field and 31.3% from three. His best fit is as a versatile 6-4 perimeter player who can score without forcing volume, rebound a bit for his position, and add defensive length. What makes him notable is his pedigree: he was a two-time all-state high school standout and Parchment’s career scoring leader, suggesting a competitive, high-ceiling guard who already understands how to produce.
