Xavier HighBaugh brings two-way guard production and a proven high-school scoring motor to IU Columbus
HighBaugh arrives at IU Columbus as a guard with a strong two-way profile: in his 2023-24 high-school season at Cardinal Ritter, he averaged 14.0 points, 2.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game, and he earned First Team All-Conference, All-City and All-State Honorable Mention recognition. That combination suggests a player who can create offense, pressure the ball defensively, and compete with energy. He also played varsity track and football, which hints at toughness and athletic versatility. For a team, he looks like a fit if you want a competitive, active guard rather than a pure stat-only scorer.[2][3]
