Treysen Eaglestaff, fresh off a stellar junior season at North Dakota, has caught the eye of many powerhouse programs. Schools like Kansas and Kentucky are some of the many big names that are eager to snag his talent for their program. With all the offers, the 6-foot-6 sharpshooter’s next move could make some significant waves in the scene.
Treysen Eaglestaff’s Potential Draws an Impressive Crowd
Since entering the transfer portal, Eaglestaff’s phone hasn’t stopped buzzing. His agent, George Langberg of GSL Sports Group, revealed a stacked list of suitors: Kentucky, Michigan, Kansas and LSU lead the way.

Joining them in pursuit are Syracuse, USC, Villanova and Oklahoma, making Eaglestaff one of the most sought-after names in the portal.
The buzz follows a breakout junior year with North Dakota, where he averaged 18.9 points per game—a leap from his sophomore mark of 14.4.
His all-around game improved as well. Rebounding rose to 2.8 per game, and assists climbed to 2.4. At 190 pounds, he has the frame and skill set to thrive at the highest level. Coaches see a player ready to shine on a bigger stage.
Eaglestaff’s signature moment came in the Summit League Championship quarterfinals, where he exploded for 51 points against South Dakota State—a new league record.
“It was also the most points scored in Division I basketball this season,” Langberg said at the time.
And he did it all in regulation.
That performance smashed the previous Summit League record of 41 points, set by Troy’s Geno Crandall in 2017. For context, the last Division I player to score more was Darius Lee, who posted 52 in a four-overtime game in 2022.
Eaglestaff’s efficient and electric showing in that upset win proved he’s built for big moments.
Now, after three years at North Dakota, he’s ready for a new challenge. Programs like Mississippi State, Washington and TCU have reached out. So have Minnesota, Georgia and Wake Forest. Even Colorado, Iowa and Vanderbilt are expressing interest. His scoring ability and size make him a versatile fit in almost any system.
