Kayden Mingo and Dylan Mingo’s college commitment status

While Kayden Mingo ranks 42 among the top players of the class of 2025, he places an impressive fourth among the combo guards. Kayden has consistently performed for LuHi in the absence of Kiyan Anthony, who is off the court after a back injury. Kayden chose to commit to Penn State on Nov. 1.

A year younger than his brother, Dylan Mingo ranks 13th among the top recruits of the Class of 2026. As a point guard, he ranks second among the other top prospects.

He has received college program offers from Dayton, Florida State, Missouri, Virginia Tech, Washington and Cincinnati but has not made a choice yet. Both of the brothers are emerging as beacons of potential and skill as they lead LuHi.
