Jeremy Fears Jr. has improved drastically, and this nation-leading stat proves it

It’s only been three games, but Jeremy Fears Jr. leads the nation in an impressive category.

Entering the 2025-26 season, Fears was considered Michigan State’s leader, and the glue guy who would hold the team together through all the changes that the program experienced in the offseason. The team looks a lot different, but Fears is a constant, and he’s helped the transition process immensely.

Fears also needed to take a big step this offseason — and he’s done just that.

Everyone wanted to see a more productive Fears this season, and it looks like he’s become one of the best passers in college basketball as well as just an all-around better player.
