Kansas State men’s basketball has added another future piece under Casey Alexander.
Class of 2026 point guard Jaylen Alexander, who was previously signed to Belmont, has flipped his pledge to K-State, he announced on social media Saturday.
Jaylen Alexander, a three-star prospect, is ranked as the No. 22 point guard in the country and No. 180 overall player in the 247sports composite rankings. He is also rated as the No. 3 overall player in the state of Alabama.
He was named the state’s Gatorade Player of the Year last week and earned MVP honors at the Alabama state tournament. Jaylen Alexander joins fellow 2026 commit Devin Hutcherson in sticking with the former Belmont head coach.
Jaylen Alexander, who is not related to the Wildcats’ new head coach, becomes the second addition for K-State as the program begins to build its 2026 class after consecutive years with one domestic high school signee.
