Scout Report
The nation's 26th-ranked prospect in the 2028 class is already turning heads with his combination of size, skill, and basketball IQ at one of the DMV's premier prep programs.
Background
Hailing from Potomac, Maryland, Xavier Skipworth has found the perfect basketball home at The Bullis School, where he's developing alongside elite talent in one of the region's most competitive environments. Playing with future UConn center Eric Reibe and Marquette-bound combo guard Adrien Stevens has accelerated his growth, providing daily battles against top-tier competition. The Bullis program's track record of developing college-ready prospects has given Skipworth the ideal platform to showcase his evolving skill set.
Playing Style
At 6-5, Skipworth possesses the prototypical small forward frame with room to add strength as he matures. His versatility allows him to impact multiple facets of the game, showing comfort handling the ball in transition while also demonstrating the ability to knock down perimeter shots. What separates him from other prospects is his basketball IQ and understanding of how to play within a system, likely developed through competing alongside elite teammates daily. His length and athleticism give him defensive upside, with the potential to guard multiple positions at the next level.
Recruitment
With nine Division I offers already in hand from programs like Maryland, Purdue, Syracuse, and USC, Skipworth has established himself as a priority target for high-major programs across the country. His local ties to Maryland and Georgetown provide intriguing storylines, while programs like Marquette have already shown they value the Bullis pipeline. As a 2028 prospect, he has ample time to continue developing and could see his recruitment explode with strong showings on the circuit.
