The Ball State men’s basketball team and head coach Chris Capko have announced the addition of Texas Tech transfer Jazz Henderson Jr. to the program.
The 5-foot-11 guard from Dallas, Texas will be a redshirt sophomore as he joins the team ahead of the 2026-27 season.
Henderson Jr. played in 13 games in 2025-26 and tallied 11 points, six rebounds, four assists and two steals for the Red Raiders as a redshirt freshman after redshirting the 2024-25 campaign.
In high school, Henderson Jr. was a three-time state champion at Oak Cliff Family where he averaged 14 points and 7 assists per game as a senior.
Academically, Henderson Jr. plans on studying business and finance at Ball State.
This is Ball State’s seventh incoming transfer of the offseason after K’Jei Parker (UMass), Aaron Fine (Purdue), Javion Guy-King (Central Arkansas), Jaden Smith (Saint Joseph’s), Trey Lewis (Western Michigan), and Babatunde Durodola (Temple) signed with the team earlier.
