Joel Foxwell is Portland’s freshman floor general — and the Pilots’ engine
In the 2025-26 season, Joel Foxwell has emerged as Portland’s breakout guard, leading the Pilots in scoring and serving as one of the nation’s top freshman passers with 137 assists and 7.2 assists per game, while also delivering signature moments like a 27-point upset of No. 6 Gonzaga and multiple 15-assist games. He’s a high-usage, high-IQ playmaker with real pace, confidence, and poise for an 18-year-old playing against pros just a year earlier in Australia. If your team wants a lead guard who can run an offense, create for others, and keep the ball hopping, this kid is absolutely worth the eye test.
