Jon Elmore (born December 20, 1995) is an American college basketball guard for Marshall.
Born in Charleston, West Virginia, Elmore averaged 31.4 points as a senior at George Washington High School in Charleston and was West Virginia player of the year. In the class of 2014, he was NR by ESPN and a 2 star recruit by 247 Sports.
He originally committed to play at VMI where his father, Gay Elmore, played. However, he left VMI before ever playing a game to be with his grandfather. He joined the intramural team at Marshall and was recruited to varsity by December 2015. In the 2016-17 season, he averaged 19.7 points per game and was a first team all-Conference USA selection. In 2017-18, Elmore led Marshall to its first-ever NCAA Tournament upset of Wichita State, tallying 27 points. He averaged 22.7 points and 6.8 rebounds per game as a junior. After the season Elmore declared for the 2018 NBA Draft but did not hire an agent, thus leaving open the possibility of returning to Marshall.
Elmore comes from a basketball family. His father, Gay Elmore, was VMI's all time leading scorer and his grandfather, Otmer, played basketball at West Virginia. His brother, Ot, played basketball at Texas–Rio Grande Valley before transferring to Marshall to play along side Jon.
