The 6-foot-79prospect ranks as a four-star recruit and the No. 73 player in the country according to the 247sports composite rankings. Alston also ranks as the 16th best power forward in the 2025 recruiting cycle.
While recruiting services rank Alston as a power forward, the lanky forward plays on the wing more than he does in the paint. Alston has a strong shooting stroke and can score off the bounce while facing the basket.
