Top-50 recruit Jaden Toombs commits to SMU

Jaden Toombs, a four-star center in the 2025 class, has committed to SMU and head coach Andy Enfield, he announced. He becomes the program’s highest-ranked recruit in over a decade.

According to the On3 Industry Rankings, Toombs is the No. 43 overall prospect in the 2025 cycle. He’s also the No. 4 center prospect. The On3 Industry Ranking is a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

The 6-foot-9 center out of Dallas-based Dynamic Prep chose the Mustangs over Alabama, Miami, Texas Tech, and Vanderbilt.

Toombs becomes the second player in the class to commit to SMU. He joins his close friend and teammate, four-star SF Jermaine O’Neal Jr. (No. 113 nationally).

Scouting Report

“Jaden Toombs is a strong presence on the block. He knows who he is as a player, and he goes out and does that. There is some touch there; he can step out and knock down a catch-and-shoot three. He sets good screens to get his guys open. He is a good area rebounder, securing possessions in traffic. He is a solid athlete. Like to see him develop a more dynamic offensive approach, but there are some winning qualities.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
