The first commitment of 2026 for the UNBC Men's Basketball program has Northern routes. UNBC Men's Basketball head coach Todd Jordan announced today that 6'5" shooting guard/small forward Jules Tersago (Smithers, B.C.) has committed to the Timberwolves for the 2026-27 campaign and beyond.

Tersago graduated from PGSS in 2024 and played last season at CTA West under the watchful eye of head coach Adam Huffman. At the prep level he averaged 10.3 points-per-game to go along with 6.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists. He shot 53.2 percent from the field, 37.4 percent from beyond the arc, and clicked at an 84.3 percent clip from the free-throw line.

"I'm a strong scorer inside and out, and I like to get my teammates involved," shared Tersago who has been training with his future teammates through much of the offseason so far.
It was a longstanding rapport with Todd Jordan that helped sway Tersago to commit to the TWolves.

"Todd has always checked in on me through the years and has helped monitor my development. I'm impressed by his attention to detail, and I like his coaching style," said Tersago who lists Russell Westbrook as his favourite NBA player, past or present.

"We are excited to add Jules to the roster. He's a good athlete who will add slashing ability and some toughness. He's a great student and good person who will fit very well into our team culture," added Todd Jordan. "It's great to add a guy who has played his high school ball locally. Any time we can secure a local guy with the ability to play at our level we want to make sure we can keep them near home. I'm looking forward to working with Jules and helping him grow as a player and person over the next few years as he goes through his basketball journey."

The current players on the roster have also gone out of their way to make Tersago feel like one of the guys. "I'm impressed by how much the guys care for each other. They've invited me to things off the court, made me feel included and the energy is great and supportive."

When he looks ahead to 2026-27, he can't help but get excited when he thinks about putting that Timberwolves jersey on the first time. Tersago is prioritizing conditioning over the summer as he gets himself ready for the heightened pace and physicality of the Canada West conference.  In addition to coach Jordan, he credits his parents, his older sister and his CTA coaches for helping him be Canada West ready.

UNBC Athletics is thrilled to welcome Jules Tersago to the UNBC Timberwolves family.
