Nakyel Shelton is a 6-3 senior guard from Chicago who attended Carl Schurz High School, where he earned All-City League honors three times. His path to Division I ran through NAIA basketball at Montana State Northern and Cardinal Stritch — where he led the team with 16.9 points and 8.5 rebounds — before NJCAA Division II at South Suburban, where he finished fifth nationally in scoring at 23.6 points per game in 2022-23. He then joined Eastern Illinois, where he was a First Team All-Ohio Valley Conference selection in 2024-25, averaging 17.0 points per game and ranking second in the OVC in scoring. LMU coach Stan Johnson signed him as one of his key portal additions, and Shelton's long, winding journey from Chicago to the WCC is one of the more compelling stories on the Lions' roster.
