Jacob Gilyard Remains Gravelines' Point Guard
Great news for BCM! As the Northern French team aims to secure their place in Betclic Élite for the upcoming season, one of the main architects of their survival in the 2025/26 season will be staying. Jacob Gilyard has extended his contract by one year, completing Gravelines-Dunkerque's offseason roster.
Gilyard, who joined the Hauts-de-France team mid-season as a medical substitute, immediately impressed. The point guard, who holds the NCAA record for most steals, maintained his knack for turnovers (averaging 1.5 per game). More importantly, his offensive contributions were crucial to coach Jean-Christophe Prat's team maintaining their league status, with averages of 11.3 points and 5.5 assists in Betclic Élite.

Excellent news for BCM! As the Northern club once again aims to secure their place in Betclic Élite for the next season, one of the key figures in achieving this goal in 2025/26 will be retained. Indeed, Jacob Gilyard has extended his contract by one year, finalizing Gravelines-Dunkerque's roster moves.
Arriving in the Hauts-de-France region mid-season as a medical cover, the compact point guard quickly won over fans and management. The NCAA's all-time leader in steals didn't lose his touch (averaging 1.5 per game), but it was primarily his offensive impact that played a pivotal role in Jean-Christophe Prat's squad avoiding relegation, with averages of 11.3 points and 5.5 assists in Betclic Élite.
