Class of 2025 four-star small forward Jayden Forsythe has committed to Xavier, he told ZAGSBLOG.
Forsythe — the 6-foot-5, 190-pound small forward from Westtown School (PA) and the Team Final Nike AAU program — chose the Musketeers fresh off his official visit this past weekend.
“I’m going to Xavier because of their style of play, the plan coach [Sean] Miller has for me to develop, and playing in one of the best conferences in the country,” Forsythe told ZAGSBLOG.
This summer, Forsythe was a key contributor for Team Final. At Peach Jam playing in the PIT, the small forward averaged 9.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 10 contents. He shot 25-of-65 (38.5%) from 3-point range as well. His best game was an 18-point outing against Team Melo, where Forsythe drained four triples.
Xavier now has two top-100 prospects committed in 2025 in Forsythe (No. 84) and top-50 guard Nyk Lewis. The Musketeers have two of the 23 top-85 prospects who have finalized their decisions. It’s a great start for Miller and company in 2025 recruiting.
Forsythe told ZAGSBLOG he’s recruiting top-100 forward Amare Bynum to join he and Lewis.
