Jasiah Jervis, a freshman at Michigan State, has been crowned the 2026 Mr. New York Basketball award, a title that highlights his standout performance in the state’s high school ranks.
The honor follows a high school career at Archbishop Stepinac in White Plains, where he earned Gatorade Player of the Year and McDonald’s All‑American honors. Internationally, Jervis helped the USA Basketball U18 team capture silver at the FIBA AmeriCup, showcasing his shooting skill and versatility on a global stage.
A New Era for the Spartans
Standing 6‑foot‑4 with a 6‑foot‑8 wingspan, Jervis combines size with a quick release, a combination that has drawn attention as he prepares to join the Spartans. His arrival coincides with a program steeped in East Coast talent, a legacy that head coach Tom Izzo has nurtured for over a decade.
Ranked No. 34 overall and No. 6 among shooting guards in the final 247Sports class of 2026, Jervis is expected to contribute right away. Michigan State’s history of developing elite players suggests his impact could be immediate, adding depth to a roster that already includes seasoned contributors.
His shooting ability and adaptability are expected to strengthen the squad as the Spartans look to extend their recent successes, reinforcing a tradition that has produced multiple Michigan Mr. Basketball winners during Izzo’s tenure.
