One of the best dual-sport athletes in the Bay Area committed to Oklahoma on Tuesday afternoon.
Alec Blair, a rising senior at De La Salle, announced on a YouTube livestream with 247Sports that he will play basketball and baseball for the Sooners.
The 6-foot-6 wing is ranked as the 38th-best high school basketball player nationally — and fourth-best in California — in the class of 2025, according to 247Sports.
“I like to think I have one of the best midrange games in the nation, that’s what I do with the fadeaway and all that stuff,” Blair said. “I’ve definitely improved as a shooter since the last time you guys have seen me.”
The wing-sized prospect described himself as a “tall point guard” who is adept at running the pick and roll. The lefthander also said he “takes pride in his defense” and expressed a willingness to guard the other team’s best player, which he has done consistently in high school.
Blair averaged 18 points, six rebounds and four assists per game while shooting 54% from the field as De La Salle’s basketball team reached the NorCal Open Division playoffs.
He was named to the all-Bay Area News Group basketball team for the third year in a row.
Blair also had offers from Texas A&M, Cal, Clemson, Oregon and other top programs. The Sooners have enjoyed seven consecutive winning seasons, the last three coming under coach Porter Moser.
When the season changed from basketball to baseball, Blair excelled as an outfielder for De La Salle’s powerhouse baseball team.
