Four-time NBA All-Star Trae Young has been hired at Oklahoma as an assistant general manager for men’s basketball, the school announced Monday. Young, a former Sooners All-American, also pledged to donate $1 million to help support the program.

Fears made the announcement on a social media post Wednesday. The 6-foot-4 guard is projected by many to be a lottery pick. He averaged 17.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists this season and helped the Sooners reach the NCAA Tournament.

Oklahoma freshman Jeremiah Fears will forgo his remaining NCAA eligibility and enter this year's NBA draft, he announced Wednesday on ESPN.

It’s been a remarkable year for Fears, who skipped his senior year of high school and reclassified to attend Oklahoma and play this season.

Fears averaged 17.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.6 steals while averaging 30 minutes through 34 games of his freshman season. He is ranked as the No. 8 overall prospect on B/R's latest 2025 NBA Draft Big Board.

OU freshman guard Jeremiah Fears announced that he has declared for the 2025 NBA Draft, forgoing his remaining college eligibility. Fear made the announcement on ESPN’s The Paul Finebaum Show while also posting a message to Sooner Nation on Instagram.
