Last season, Campus’ Jayden Starbird averaged nine points per game on 31 percent shooting from the three-point line and 43 percent total from the field.
Now a junior, Starbird is eyeing a couple of goals for the 2025-2026 season.
“Individually, my goal is to continue improving my game and take on a bigger leadership role,” Starbird said. “I want to be a contributor on both ends of the floor, as a team we want to win games and make a deep playoff run.”
Starbird was always in the gym over the offseason, striving to become more of a consistent player this season.
“I want to improve my consistency overall,” Starbird said. “I work on that every day by just picking up a ball getting extra reps after practice, working out with my trainer, watching film and competing in summer league and other basketball events.”
While the Colts had a challenging 2024-2025 season, Starbird is confident this season will be better.
“I’m most excited to compete with my teammates and build on from last year,” Starbird said. “We’ve been putting in a lot of work during the off season so I’m ready to see how that translates on the court. I’m excited to be the underdogs this season.”
