- Junior Year (2017–18): This was his best college year. He averaged 20.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game. He was named to the First Team All-ACC. This means he was one of the best players in his conference. He also scored a career-high 46 points in one game against Notre Dame.
After his junior year, Jerome decided to enter the 2018 NBA draft. He first kept his option open to return to college. But on April 28, 2018, he hired an agent.
