Standing at 6-11 with a solid frame and versatile skill set, this West Coast big man has caught the attention of elite programs across the nation.
Background
Hailing from Castaic, California, Trevon Carter-Givens has developed his craft at SoCal Academy, one of the premier basketball programs on the West Coast. The 2026 center has been surrounded by elite talent throughout his prep career, sharing the court with highly-ranked prospects including St. John's commit Kelvin Odih and Kentucky-bound Tyler Jackson. This competitive environment at SoCal Academy has helped accelerate his development and exposure to college scouts nationwide.
Playing Style

His 6-11 frame allows him to be a presence in the paint on both ends, while his developing skill set suggests he can step away from the basket and contribute in multiple ways. He shows good instincts around the rim and has the physical tools to be an effective rim protector at the next level. His ability to run the floor well for his size adds versatility to his game, making him an attractive option for programs looking for a modern big man who can adapt to different offensive systems.
Recruitment
With 11 Division I offers from quality programs including NC State, San Diego State, Arizona State, Florida State, TCU, USC, Washington, and New Mexico, Carter-Givens has generated significant interest from coast to coast. The 6-11 center ultimately committed to NC State, choosing the Wolfpack over a strong field of suitors. Ranked #104 nationally in the class of 2026, he projects as a player who could develop into a key contributor with his combination of size, athleticism, and basketball IQ.

Trevon Carter-Givens (@Trevoncarterg ). 2026 / 6’11 PF. The @PackMensBball signee is one of the best lob threats in the country. Active mover away from the ball, cuts baseline often, and a lethal target in transition. Great hands for a big~ throw it up, he’ll find a way to score. https://t.co/QedmvTfVfh

Trevon Carter-Givens is a special talent, lead the EYBL in blocked shots this summer and makes plays like these on the other end of the floor while being a lob threat and shooting the 3 at 6’11 with a 7’5 wingspan @Trevoncarterg https://t.co/zs3N0HgvZf
