Columbus HS (FL) four-star wing Jaxon Richardson has scheduled a Louisville visit, according to Sam Kayser.
The 2026 prospect cut his list of schools down to ten in July — USC, Michigan, Alabama, Seton Hall, Creighton, Ole Miss, Cincinnati, Villanova, and Miami (FL) all made the top ten, as well as the Cardinals. However, he’s only scheduled six fall official visits, the first of which comes this weekend.
His official visit schedule is the following:
- Miami (FL) — September 6
- Alabama — September 13
- USC — September 20
- Creighton — October 18
- Ole Miss — November 1
- Louisville — November 8
Louisville football hosts California the weekend Richardson is set to visit, and men’s basketball opens the season earlier that week, playing on November 3 & 6. It is unclear if Richardson will be at the November 6 basketball game against Jackson State.
Richardson has been on campus before, for an unofficial visit last February when the Cards hosted Florida State.
Rivals’ Industry rankings have the 6-foot-6, 200-pound small forward as the No. 20 player in the nation. Richardson is the son of former Michigan State and longtime NBA veteran Jason Richardson. Jaxon’s brother, Jase, was an elite freshman for the Spartans last season and was recently picked by the Orlando Magic in the first round of the NBA Draft.
Cardinal Sports’ scouting report: From an athleticism perspective, it doesn’t get much better than Richardson in the 2026 class. He’s a high-flyer who can play above the rim offensively and defensively at 6-foot-6. Playing for the Florida Rebels on the Nike EYBL circuit, Richardson has flashed this two-way prowess, but also his ability to change the game with his rebounding. Some weekends on the circuit, he’s averaged ten rebounds a game, and flies toward the glass on missed shots.
