Josh Irving<\/a>, a four-star center in the 2026 class, has narrowed his list of schools down to three, his agent Harrison Gaines of Slash Sports told Rivals. Moving forward, the 6-foot-11 senior out of Pasadena High School (CA) will consider Kentucky<\/a>, Louisville<\/a>, and Texas A&M<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Irving has officially visited each of his finalists and plans to announce his commitment soon. <\/p>\n

Prior to cutting his list down, he also considered schools like Kansas, SMU, San Diego State, USC, and others. <\/p>\n

According to Rivals\u2019 Top-150 Player Rankings, Irving is ranked as the No. 40 overall prospect in the 2026 class. He\u2019s also the No. 6 ranked center and the No. 9 overall player in California. <\/p>\n

Rivals\u2019 National Recruiting Analyst Jamie Shaw evaluated Irving this summer and had this to say about him:<\/p>\n

\u201cJosh Irving\u00a0has a lot of upside with his game, and is someone who seems to improve with each viewing we have. Standing in the 6-foot-11 range, Irving is a fluid athlete with excellent length. His stock continues to steadily rise.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is young for his grade, carrying a May 2008 birthday. But his athletic fluidity, at his height, is simply something you cannot teach. Almost a 7-footer, Irving is someone who adds something new each time you see him. Right now, the Pasadena native is like a ball of clay and he is being molded in front of our eyes. What he is in two years, could be completely different than what he is now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Josh Irving, a four-star center in the 2026 class, has narrowed his list of schools down to three,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":228993,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[399,128042,398,396,397,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-228992","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-josh-irving-26-pasadena","10":"tag-ncaa","11":"tag-ncaa-football","12":"tag-ncaafootball","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228992","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=228992"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228992\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/228993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=228992"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=228992"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=228992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
