Sheldon Jacobson Sheldon Jacobson 6'2" | CG Fernley | 2026 State NV has many of the tools and traits you look for in a combo guard. His mid-range jump shot can be lethal, and he can also hit catch-and-shoot threes. I also witnessed him throw down a tough one-handed dunk at the Legacy Tip-Off Classic, showcasing his vertical. He also used his bounce and reaction time to block 29 shots this year. With all of that said, he more than deserved a bump up in the rankings and is set to continue his basketball career at Oregon Tech.
