BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Jaeden Mustaf is done with official visits and will announce his college decision on Thursday.

A 6-foot-5 guard in the class of 2024, Mustaf will decide Georgia Tech, NC State, Maryland, Florida State, Indiana and Arkansas. 

He took an official visit to Indiana in June and has visited all schools in his top six besides Arkansas. On3's recruiting prediction machine tabbed Georgia Tech as the favorite, with an 81.5 percent chance of landing Mustaf.

Mustaf is a consensus four-star guard in the class of 2024. He's ranked No. 28 in the nation by 247Sports, No. 48 by On3, No. 48 by Rivals and No. 58 in the ESPN Top 100.

Mustaf recently announced that he'll spend his senior year of high school playing for Overtime Elite, a professional basketball league created in 2021 and based in Atlanta, Ga. Prior to joining Overtime Elite, Mustaf attended Carmel Christian School in Matthews, N.C. and DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, Md.

He played AAU for Boo Williams on the Nike EYBL Circuit. Across 20 games of EYBL play, Mustaf averaged 17.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. He shot 80.9 percent on from the free throw line on 8.1 attempts per game, along with a 20.5 3-point shooting percentage on 44 total attempts, according to a source with EYBL tracking data.

He has strong basketball pedigree, as his father, Jerrod Mustaf, played at Maryland from 1988-90, where he averaged 18.5 points and 7.7 rebounds as a sophomore to earn All-ACC honors. The New York Knicks selected Jerrod with the 17th pick in the 1990 NBA Draft, and he played four seasons in the NBA.
