Meet the Bears: CSU Pueblo Transfer Blair Headed to Springfield
June 11, 2026 | Men's Basketball
SPRINGFIELD -- Missouri State men's basketball head coach Cuonzo Martin announced today the addition of transfer Jordan Blair to the Bears roster for the upcoming 2026-27 season.Â
The guard/forward comes to Springfield after two seasons at NCAA Division II Colorado State-Pueblo. He is the third in a series of upcoming player announcements for Martin's squad.
"At 6-foot-5, Jordan brings a unique blend of toughness, skill and versatility," said Martin. "He plays through contact, embraces physicality, and has the talent to make plays. His competitive spirit, strength, and feel for the game allow him to impact winning on both ends of the court."
Last season, Blair averaged a team-high 13.4 points as a sophomore and helped the Thunderwolves to a 22-8 season. He started all 30 games and averaged 6.4 rebounds while shooting 38 percent from 3-point range and dishing out 77 assists. Likewise, he scored 20 or more points five times and logged three double-doubles, including season-highs 23 points and 14 rebounds vs. South Dakota Mines (12/13/25).
In 2024-25, he saw action in 25 games and made eight starts as a freshman, averaging 5.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, 0.5 assists, and 0.7 steals per game.Â
He was a four-year letterman in basketball for coach Gerald Sledge at Keller (Texas) Central High School. Blair averaged 21 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game in his high school career while earning first-team all-district and all-area distinction as a senior in 2023-24.Â
