As college basketball fans celebrate Treysen Eaglestaff’s transfer to West Virginia, interest is quickly turning to his younger brother, Teysean Eaglestaff, another promising talent with size, skill, and strong basketball bloodlines. The Eaglestaff brothers have deep roots in the game and are building a family legacy on and off the court.
Teysean Eaglestaff: A 6’7″ Forward with Big Potential
Standing at 6-foot-7 and weighing 188 pounds, Teysean Eaglestaff made his way into Division I basketball as a freshman forward at the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC). Originally from Eagle Butte, South Dakota, and a graduate of Bismarck High School, the same school where his brother Treysen was crowned North Dakota Mr. Basketball in 2022, Teysean joined the UMKC Roos as a preferred walk-on.
Though he redshirted during the 2024–25 season and did not see game action, Teysean was active in workouts and developmental programs. Known for his bounce, length, and work ethic, he brings upside as a guard/forward who can grow into a versatile contributor at the collegiate level.
As of now, Teysean Eaglestaff has entered the NCAA transfer portal, exploring new opportunities to further his basketball career. His time with UMKC helped build a foundation, but his next move could offer more playing time, a better fit, or a system that unlocks his full potential.
Before college, Teysean played for J Sizzles, a nationally recognized AAU team coached by Larry Suggs, the father of NBA guard Jalen Suggs. He competed in high-profile tournaments across Texas, South Carolina, Alabama, and Las Vegas, including winning the Tip of the Hat Championship. His athleticism and potential were clear throughout the AAU circuit, making him a compelling prospect for programs across the country.
With his size, experience in a Division I program, and bloodline of basketball success, Teysean is an intriguing name to watch this offseason.
Teysean isn’t the only Eaglestaff chasing greatness. His older brother Treysen is making headlines after a breakout season at the University of North Dakota, where he averaged 18.9 points per game and dropped 40 points against Oklahoma. Now committed to West Virginia, Treysen is poised to make an impact in the Big 12 Conference.

The Eaglestaff brothers represent more than basketball talent, they carry the weight of heritage and family pride. Named after his uncle Robert Eaglestaff, a Hall of Famer at UND and a Native American legend, Treysen paved the way. Now, with Teysean on the move and seeking the right home, the next chapter for this basketball family is just beginning.
