Five-star prospect Dawson Garcia commits to Marquette

Five-star basketball prospect Dawson Garcia has committed to Marquette, he announced Wednesday on CBS Sports HQ.

The 6-foot-11, 210-pound power forward from Prior Lake, Minnesota, is ranked 45th on the ESPN top 100 list of recruits in the class of 2020. He is the highest-ranked recruit in ESPN’s rankings to choose the Golden Eagles since Henry Ellenson in 2015.

“They’ve been recruiting me for a long time,” Garcia told CBS Sports HQ’s Evan Daniels. “I can just really see myself fitting in there.”

He also signed his letter of intent Wednesday.

“We are so excited the Garcia family has chosen to join Marquette University,” Marquette head coach Steve Wojciechowski said in a statement.
