Xavier has secured a commitment from a standout forward in the Class of 2026.
Three-star prospect Asher Elson of Brooklyn South Shore will join the Musketeers as a member of the 2026 recruiting class, he announced on Wednesday.
He chose Xavier over Syracuse, Maryland and Auburn.
“Great kid, gym rat, has a huge upside, will be a pro someday,” his high school head coach Shawn Mark told ZAGSBLOG. “[He] came from nothing and grinded his way to a D1 scholarship.”
The 6-foot-11 forward is the first member of head coach Richard Pitino‘s 2026 class.
Elson is the No. 114 overall recruit in the Class of 2026, according to 247Sports.
