Top-150 recruit Parker Jefferson commits to Gonzaga

Parker Jefferson, a 6-foot-10 center in the 2025 class, has committed to Gonzaga, he told On3.

The three-star senior out of Inglewood High School (CA) took an official visit to the Zags this week and decided to pledge to Mark Few and the staff while on campus.

Jefferson discussed his commitment to Gonzaga with On3.

“When my recruitment first started, all I was hearing was ‘You’re a Gonzaga type of guy’, Jefferson said. “Now that I finally got to get to campus and meet the staff, I knew right away this is where I belong. I look forward to seeing The Kennel rocking this year, and i’m excited to be playing under such an incredible coach in Coach Few. GO ZAGS!🐶”

Jefferson was originally committed to Minnesota, but reopened his recruitment earlier this month after the Gophers’ coaching change. Prior to his commitment to Minnesota, he also considered USC.

Jefferson, a native of Texas, is the nation’s No. 150 overall prospect, No. 12 center and No. 20 recruit from California in the 2025 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Jefferson Scouting Report

“Parker Jefferson has good size with a frame that projects as he continues to mature. He has good hands, very passer friendly, and can receive passes in traffic. His range extends beyond the three-point line with consistency. The athleticism will be a question, but he is still young with a September 2006 birthday. As he continues to grow, there is a skill and IQ foundation to build on. His mother played at Arkansas.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
