The Marquette men’s basketball team has a late addition to its 2026 recruiting class.
Clayton Crowdis, a 6-foot-4 guard from Bridgton Academy in Maine, announced his commitment to play for the Golden Eagles on social media on May 16.
Crowdis chose MU over fellow Big East schools St. John’s and Providence. The guard took an official visit to Milwaukee earlier in the week.
The Toronto native will give the Golden Eagles some backcourt depth next season behind returning starters Nigel James Jr. and Adrien Stevens, transfer portal addition Nolan Minessale and rising sophomore Michael Phillips II. Nash Walker redshirted last season, but is rehabbing a shoulder injury over the summer.
“I’m a 6’4 point guard that can get a bucket whenever but also make the right read,” Crowdis told ZagsBlog during his recruitment. “[I’m a] three-level scorer. I had 14 assists one game and the next day had a 40-point game this season so that shows how versatile my game is. I can also play off the ball with catch and shoots and back door cuts with sneaky bounce waiting to catch a body. Definitely a high-energy and effort guy that just wants to compete and win.”
Crowdis joins Ethan Johnston and Alex Egbuonu as incoming freshmen. MU has one remaining scholarship slot on its 15-man roster.
