Ikenna Alozie, the top-ranked point guard in the 2026 class, says he is hearing from seven schools the most frequently (in no particular order): Alabama, Louisville, Washington, Arizona, Houston, Kansas, and Rutgers.

The 6-foot-2 four-star out of Dream City Christian (AZ) is the No. 9 overall recruit in the nation, according to the On3 Industry Rankings.

Alozie has visited two schools to this point — Arizona and Washington.

In addition to the schools listed above, he also holds offers from Providence, Oregon, Arizona State, St. John’s, Creighton, Georgetown, Villanova, Oklahoma State, UCLA, and others.

Scouting Report

Alozie is an explosive lead guard. He does not dance around with the ball, making a move and getting downhill quickly in a direct line to the front of the rim. Alozie is a quick-twitch defender, guarding the ball full court and his shooting looks like it continues to improve from three. There were multiple plays throughout the week where Alozie brought the crowd to its feet, especially with some sure-to-be-viral dunks. – On3’s Jamie Shaw

Alozie’s On3 NIL Valuation worth over $500,000

Ikenna Alozie currently holds a $528,000 million On3 NIL Valuation, which ranks 35th in high school basketball.

The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets the standard market NIL value for high school and college athletes. A proprietary algorithm, the On3 NIL Valuation calculates an athlete’s NIL value using dynamic data points targeting three primary categories: performance, influence and exposure.

About On3 NIL Valuation, Brand Value, Roster Value

While the algorithm includes deal data, it does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals athletes have completed to date, nor does it set an athlete’s NIL valuation for their entire career.

The On3 NIL Valuation accounts for an athlete’s roster value and brand value. Roster value is the value an athlete has by being a member of his or her team at his or her school, which factors into the role of NIL collectives. Brand value factors in an athlete’s personal brand and the value it could bring to regional and national brands outside of the scope of NIL collectives.
