Oxford point guard Jaylen Alexander has committed to play college basketball at Belmont.

The 6-foot-2, 185-pound senior announced his decision on social media Friday.

“We are so excited for Jaylen and his family,” Yellow Jackets coach Joel Van Meter said. “Belmont is a program with a rich tradition and joining the Missouri Valley Conference will give him the chance to compete at a very high level.”

Alexander, a two-time All-State selection, has totaled 1,855 points, 500 assists and 275 steals in his high school career.

Alexander’s 247 Sports profile also lists offers from Auburn, Samford, Murray State, UAB, Kennesaw State, Jacksonville State and Illinois-Chicago. The 3-star guard is the No. 3-ranked senior recruit in the state, according to the 247 Composite rankings, behind only Hale County’s Gage Mayfield and Hoover center Jackson Sheffield.

“Jaylen has worked incredibly hard for this opportunity, and he and his family deserve the credit for the dedication and effort to get there,” Van Meter said.
