Jeremy Fears Jr., the standout point guard for the Michigan State Spartans, announced on April 10 that he will enter the 2026 NBA Draft while keeping his college eligibility intact. In the recently concluded season, Fears led the Spartans with an impressive average of 15.2 points and 9.4 assists per game, the latter ranking second in Division 1 basketball. Having completed his redshirt sophomore season, Fears has two years of eligibility left, thanks to a medical redshirt granted by the NCAA after he missed most of his freshman year due to a gunshot wound. His potential departure would be a significant loss for the Spartans, who reached the Sweet 16 in the recent tournament before being eliminated by the eventual runner-up, the University of Connecticut. Coach Tom Izzo would face a challenging task if Fears decides to pursue a professional career next season.
