Four-Star wing Ethan Mgbako sets official visit to Pitt

Ethan Mgbako, a four-star small forward in the 2026 class, will begin an official visit to Pittsburgh on Thursday, he told On3.

The 6-foot-6 rising senior of Oak Hill Academy (VA) is ranked as the No. 63 overall recruit in the class, according to On3’s Player Rankings. He’s also the No. 23-ranked small forward and No. 3 player in Virginia.

Mgbako’s trip to Pitt will be his first official visit.

Along with the Panthers, the New Jersey native also holds offers from schools like Georgetown, Mississippi State, Creighton, LSU, West Virginia, Florida State, Texas A&M, and others.

Mgbako is currently the eighth leading scorer on the EYBL Circuit as he is currently averaging 20.1 points per game for Team Melo.

He is the younger brother of Texas A&M signee Mackenzie Mgbako, a former five-star recruit and McDonalds’ All-American who began his career at Indiana.

What Mgbako is looking for in a school

In a previous interview with On3, Mgbako discussed what he wants in a college program.

”I’m going to be looking at the atmosphere of the school. Because I’m going to be staying on campus for the time I’m there. I also want to see how they use their players, their wings and guards like me, their plan for me. See what their players have done.”
