Five Star SF Jaxon Richardson List Miami In Top Ten Schools

The 6-foot6 forward playing out of Columbus High School (Fla.) plays for the Florida Rebels on the Nike EYBL circuit, and is currently ranked No. 19 overall in the 2026 class. He is the son of NBA Legend Jason Richardson and brother of the No. 25 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Jase Richardson.

Shockingly, he does not have Michigan State on his final few list, with his father and brother making names for themselves and having a family legacy to play for. Richardson is of a different mindset to carve a path of his own. As of now, Alabama is ahead with its recruiting process, but don't count on a number of these teams.
