AJ Altobelli brings pass-first pace and defensive edge to NJIT’s backcourt
Altobelli is a freshman guard who arrives at NJIT as a proven distributor, coming off a high-school season with 8.1 assists per game, 3 steals per game, and 12.2 points per game in 2024, plus a third-team All-State nod and a state championship pedigree. His value goes beyond box scores: he describes himself as hardworking and tenacious, and his profile points to a lead-guard mentality with winning experience, a solid 75% free-throw touch, and the kind of energy that fits a team needing tempo, toughness, and playmaking.
