Jonesboro, AR – Contributed – Arkansas State men’s basketball head coach Ryan Pannone announced the addition of 2025-26 NABC All-American Tameron Ferguson to the 2026-27 roster on Wednesday.

The St. Cloud, MN, native averaged 20.0 points and 6.5 assists over 29 starts and 1,039 minutes played at Augustana. The guard was the only NCAA Division II player to average 20-plus points and six-plus assists in 2025-26, resulting in Northern Sun Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (NSIC) South Player of the Year and First Team All-Conference honors.

“Tameron Ferguson is a 6’2 point guard that is very shifty and has the ability to create shots for himself and his teammates,” Pannone said. “He’s a guy that creates the advantage off the dribble and in the pick-and-rolls. His ability to breakdown his defender and his decision making is exactly what we needed in our offense.

Within his college career, he’s shown his ability to run the offense and create scores while having low turnovers. The moment he hit the portal we went after him 100-percent. He was a guy that we wanted and we are really lucky to get him.”

The NABC All-District and D2CCA All-Region selection ranked inside the top five among NSIC players in scoring and field goal percentage. He led the league with 188 assists and finished second with a 2.9 assist-turnover ratio.

Ferguson shot 225-for-430 (52.3 percent) from the field and tallied 145 rebounds while swiping 44 steals during the 2025-26 season. He started in all 59 games over two seasons with the Vikings and scored in double figures 15 times en route to a 10.2 scoring average in 2024-25.

The St. Cloud Tech High School product was a three-time all-conference and 2022 Minnesota All-State Tournament Team selection after leading the state with 35.4 points and 5.9 steals per game.

“Tameron’s father is a high school coach so he grew up in the game,” Pannone said. “He won in high school and at the Division II level. He’s a super well-raised young man and everything about him is about basketball and keeping the priorities straight. He wants to develop into the best player he can be, and that’s why he chose to come to Arkansas State.”
