Texas Tech
Scout Report
When a point guard from Northern Virginia commands 42 Division I offers before his junior season, college coaches take notice for good reason.
Background
Hailing from Alexandria, Virginia, Bivins has developed his craft at Bishop O'Connell High School, one of the region's premier basketball programs. The talented floor general has navigated the competitive DMV circuit, establishing himself as one of the most coveted point guards in his class. Playing alongside fellow standout Corey Dixon, Bivins has helped elevate Bishop O'Connell's profile on the national stage.
Playing Style
Bivins brings the quintessential point guard skill set that translates at the highest level. His court vision and decision-making ability stand out immediately, as he consistently finds teammates in scoring positions while managing tempo effectively. The 5-11 floor general possesses the quick first step and ball-handling skills necessary to create separation and attack the rim. While his size may be considered modest for major college basketball, Bivins compensates with basketball IQ and leadership qualities that make him invaluable in late-game situations.
Recruitment
With an impressive offer sheet featuring programs like Texas Tech, Rutgers, VCU, and Arizona State among 42 total D1 offers, Bivins ultimately chose to commit to Texas Tech. Ranked #85 nationally in the 2026 class, he projects as an immediate contributor who could develop into a multi-year starter at the Big 12 level. His combination of skill and leadership should translate well to head coach Grant McCasland's system.

@LdfSilas @_dariusbivins Final: O’Connell 71, Ireton 64 Really strong second half from the Knights to take this one. Darius Bivins found his shot and finished with 33 points, 20 of which came in the fourth quarter. Silas Devonish had 29 points for Ireton.
@mar5hallhoops @_dariusbivins He certainly is. Couldn't count as fast as he was scoring late...
