Jalen has mentioned being contacted by Ohio State University, Western Illinois University, Tulane University, Iowa University, IUPUI, and a few more. He currently holds an offer from IUPU.
“I’m looking to break out this July since Trayce Jackson has brought some major attention to the Team Teague Program.” Team Teague will be on many coaches recruiting lists this upcoming July.
Jalen is a team player. He is more focused on competing for his teammates than he individual stats. “I’m very humble and count my blessings. To know the player I was, to the player that I am now.”
