Jaedon LeDee (born July 25, 1999) is an American college basketball player for the San Diego State Aztecs of the Mountain West Conference. He previously played for the TCU Horned Frogs and Ohio State Buckeyes.

LeDee comes from Houston and starred at The Kinkaid School, where he grew seven inches during his high school career, shifting the point guard position to the frontcourt. He chose Ohio State over several other offers.[1][2]

LeDee transferred after his freshman season for the Buckeyes to Texas Christian University (TCU). He played two seasons at TCU, averaging 4.1 points and 3.3 rebounds per game, often playing out of position at center. Dissatisfied with lack of playing time, he again transferred, this time to San Diego State.[1][3]

He became a key part of the rotation in his first season for the Aztecs, averaging 7.9 points and 5.3 rebounds coming off the bench. In his reserve role, LeDee helped the Aztecs to their first Final Four appearance and a national runner-up finish. Following the season, he declared for the 2023 NBA draft, but did not hire an agent and ultimately decided to return to San Diego State for his fifth and final year of eligibility.[4]
