Duke basketball lands transfer guard coming off career-high season

The Duke Blue Devils have added more scoring through the transfer portal. On Saturday, they secured a commitment from former Loyola Maryland guard Jacob Theodosiou. After an impressive junior season, Theodosiou will look to build on his success while playing for one of the most historic programs in the country.

During the 2025-2026 campaign, the Ontario native averaged a career high 13.1 points per game. He also dished out 2.7 assists per game while hauling in 3.6 rebounds per game. In just his second season at Loyola Maryland, Theodosiou emerged as a dependable scorer regardless of the matchup.

While Theodosiou has shown that he can score in bunches, he is also known for his defense. He led the team in steals during his two seasons as a Greyhound with 98. His ability to make an impact with turnovers will be a welcome addition.
