Top-125 recruit Asher Elson down to 4 schools

Asher Elson, a high three-star prospect in the 2026 class, has narrowed his list of schools down to four, he told Rivals. Moving forward, the 6-foot-11 senior power forward out of Overtime Elite (GA) will consider Auburn, Maryland, Syracuse, and Xavier.

Elson, a native of Brooklyn, New York, has completed official visits to each of his finalists besides Auburn. The Tigers offered him earlier this week. He’s set to take an official visit to Auburn on November 6th.

Elson is the No. 115 overall player in the 2026 class, according to Rivals’ Top-150 Player Rankings. He’s also the No. 19 ranked power forward and the No. 7 player in Georgia.

Prior to cutting his list down, he also received offers from Ole Miss, Georgia Tech, Syracuse, Creighton, Illinois, and others.

This summer playing with the New Heights program on the Adidas 3SSB Circuit, Elson averaged 9.7 points, shooting nearly 37% from three-point land.

More on Elson

In a previous interview with Rivals, Elson discussed his game.

”I’m a versatile wing, that can guard one through five,” Elson told Rivals. “I feel like I’ve gotten way more aggressive. I got stronger. I improved my shooting. 
I was always able to shoot, but I definitely improved my shooting a lot more, and I feel like my playmaking ability has improved. I really look up to Brandon Ingram a lot, and Kevin Durant. You know, not everybody can be KD, you know, so I take I’ll just take a little pieces from both of their game and see how I can add it to min.”

Elson also broke down what he’s looking for in a school.

“I feel like development is really key to me. I feel like a coach has to understand my versatility, and let me play through my mistakes. 
A coach that believes in me. I want to play for a coach that is hardworking because I can I can’t play for a coach who is not showing the same effort as me. Location I’m not really looking at because if it’s a good program, if it’s the right program for me then it’s the right program at the end of day.”
