Holy Cross’s long, versatile guard still flashes defensive utility
Jaden Kirkwood is a 6-foot-5 guard from Ottawa who brings size, perimeter length, and a team-first profile to Holy Cross, but his 2025-26 production has been modest so far, with 0.5 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 0.5 assists per game across 17 games. The intrigue is less about box-score pop and more about positional fit: he can defend bigger wings, has enough ball skills to handle secondary duties, and offers depth for a Crusaders roster that values versatility. If you want instant offense, he’s not that guy; if you want a coachable, switchable glue piece, he’s worth a look.
