Stephon Castle, the 6-foot-6 guard from Covington, Georgia who signed with UConn as a member of the class of 2023, was named to the McDonald’s All-American team on Tuesday. He’s the first UConn commit to be playing in the game since Alterique Gilbert in 2016.
Castle is part of a 12-man East squad and the only Big East commit on either roster. The game will take place on March 28 in Houston.
The five-star recruit and consensus top-25 player in the Class of 2023 is the headliner in the five-man recruiting class, along with four-star players Solomon Ball, Jayden Ross, Youssouf Singare, and Jaylin Stewart.
