Missouri Tigers men’s basketball commit Jason Crowe Jr. has been named one of three finalists for the prestigious Gatorade National Boys Basketball Player of the Year honor.
The five-star guard from Inglewood High School delivered a remarkable senior campaign, averaging 43.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.5 steals per game. He was also recognized as California’s Gatorade Player of the Year, with both honors announced on Friday.
Crowe totaled 1,387 points across 32 games during the 2025–26 season, finishing his high school career with a record-setting 4,718 points—the highest ever in California prep history. He guided Inglewood to a 28–7 record and a run to the Southern Section Division 1A Tournament semifinals.
Joining Crowe among the national finalists are Jordan Smith Jr., an Arkansas Razorbacks men’s basketball signee from Paul VI Catholic in Virginia, and Cameron Williams of St. Mary’s in Phoenix, who is set to play for the Duke Blue Devils men’s basketball.
