Colben Landrew, a high four-star shooting guard in the 2026 class, tells Rivals he is down to six schools: Louisville, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Purdue, Texas A&M, and UConn.

The 6-foot-6 senior of Wheeler High School (GA) has visited each of his finalists. He plans to announce his college commitment on Wednesday, October 15th.

Landrew previously considered schools like Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, and Texas.

Landrew recently skyrocketed up the rankings and is now the No. 17 overall player in the class (previously No. 69), according to the Rivals. He’s also now the No. 4 ranked shooting guard.

Landrew Scouting Report

Rivals National Recruiting Analyst Jamie Shaw evaluated Landrew this summer and had this to say about his game:

There is a steady made to Colben Landrew’s game that is very appealing. He is a low usage player who gives high rewards in his game. Landrew, a former high major wide receiver recruit, has been on a clear upward trajectory. He has great length and natural instincts, especially when it comes to off ball movement and defense. He also knocks down shots consistently, playing on balance and moving with the primary initiator. 

Colben Landrew’s performances steadily continue to be efficient and productive. Nothing really pops off the page with his game, but he seemingly finds himself around positive plays on both ends of the floor.

Landrew is a smooth shooter who plays with great balance. His release is quick and he moves and relocates well with the primary ball handler. The 6-foot-6 wing is an average athlete, but he understands leverage and plays angles very well. Landrew is one whose stock continues to rise.
