Aleks Alston brings rare 6-10 stretch-forward upside to Maryland
In the 2025-26 season, freshman forward Aleks Alston has been a low-usage Terp, averaging 1.4 points and 1.7 rebounds in 8.4 minutes per game, but the buzz is all about his skill package: a 6-10 frame with perimeter shooting touch, face-up versatility, and long-term upside.[1][3][15] Ranked No. 104 nationally in the 2025 class, he was described by Maryland as an ultra-high-ceiling prospect with a bright future, and his fit is about development more than immediate production—exactly the kind of modern big who can space the floor if his body and consistency catch up.[3][5][15]
