Early life
[edit]Crowe, the son of former professional basketball player Jason Crowe, grew up in Lynwood, California.[2][3] He grew up playing basketball and first attended Lynwood High School, where he became the MaxPreps National Freshman of the Year in 2023.[4] That season, he averaged 34 points per game, breaking the state freshman scoring record, and helping Lynwood win the state Division V championship, the school's first-ever CIF title.[5][6][7] By his sophomore season, he surpassed 2,000 career points scored.[7] Crowe was coached by his father at Lynwood and both moved to Inglewood High School for Crowe's junior season.[8] He averaged 35.3 points and 6.1 assists during the 2024–25 season with Inglewood.[9]
A five-star recruit, Crowe is ranked the top point guard prospect and a top-five recruit nationally in the class of 2026.[10] He committed to play college basketball for the Missouri Tigers.[11]
As a senior in 2025–26, Crowe scored 1,387 points (while missing 3 games), which was the second-highest single-season total in California state history. For the season, he averaged 43.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 3.5 steals per game. Crowe finished his high school career with a California state record of 4,718 total points scored. He surpassed 3,659 points set by Tounde Yessoufou the season before (who broke the 21-year state record).[12]
