Michigan: “Michigan’s play style fits me and they let their guys play.”

Scouting Report

“Jeremiah Fears is a compact and confident guard. He plays with a lot of burst, on both ends of the floor. Fears has a confident handle and uses his burst to get to his spots. He plays balanced with an ability to rise up and knock down shots at each level. He is more of a score first guard than a point guard. Fears is a good on ball defender at the point of attack. Some could question the size. There is an undeniable competitive fire in there.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw

According to the On3 Industry Rankings, Fears is ranked as the No. 35 overall prospect in the 2025 cycle. He’s also the No. 5 point guard and the No. 2 player in Arizona. The On3 Industry Ranking is a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
