Duke's Ashlon Jackson drops 1-word reaction for teammate Jordan Wood's sophomore year highlights

Ashlon Jackson and Jordan Wood will return to Durham to help Duke in the 2025-26 season. Jackson, the second leading scorer on the team, will be a senior while Wood will be a junior.

On Monday, Duke women's basketball shared Wood's sophomore highlights on Instagram, while also looking ahead to her upcoming season with the Blue Devils.

The 6-foot-4 forward averaged 4.1 points and 3.0 rebounds in 11.6 minutes per game last season. Most of the highlights were of Wood's scoring ability — around the rim, with her jump shot, and from beyond the arc — while some also featured her shot-blocking on defense.

Jackson responded to the post:

"slighttt," she wrote.

Ashlon Jackson has played two seasons with Wood and will play her final season with her as well. The Texas native averaged 12.4 points and 2.4 rebounds per game as a junior, leading Duke to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament.

Four players from last season's team have transferred to other programs, including sophomore guard Oluchi Okananwa, who put up 10.1 ppg and 5.3 rpg. She has committed to Maryland.
