Xzavion Mitchell is a high-upside wing still battling through a tough start at Iowa State
In the 2025-26 season, Xzavion Mitchell—a 6-foot-6 forward and former consensus four-star recruit—saw brief early action for Iowa State, averaging 1.0 point and 0.3 rebounds in 2.9 minutes over seven games before a fractured fibula ended his freshman year.[1][3][8] The appeal is the upside: he arrived as a top-150 prospect with real scoring pedigree from Oshkosh North, where he was Wisconsin Mr. Basketball and a four-time first-team all-state pick after a 25.7-point, 8.6-rebound senior season.[1][9][13][15] He looks like a long-term fit for a team that values size, wing skill, and toughness—once he’s fully healthy and ready to turn prep-star flashes into college production.[1][8]
