He put up 13 points per game, 7 rebounds per game, 2 steals per game, and 3 blocks per game during the regular season, while boasting one of the highest ceilings in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2470128"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69b3259e99c17"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">When it comes to breakout season, Jermier's 2025-26 season is up there with the biggest of them. He had a remarkable sophomore year, going for 20 points and almost 3 steals a night against some of the best competition in the state.

He had a very solid year in Pelion, leading the Panthers in points per game (17.9), rebounds per game (11.1), and blocks per game (1.7).
