Cowboy Basketball adds top-35 guard Felesi to decorated class

STILLWATER — Oklahoma State's 2026 high school signing class continues to rise with the addition of Anthony Felesi, a 6-foot-5 guard from Orem, Utah, now ranking atop the Big 12 and as high as No. 4 nationally.

The nation's 35^th best senior according to 247Sports, Felesi is coming off a standout season at Utah Prep Academy where he competed against some of the nation's top players in the Nike EYBL Scholastic League.

Felesi won the league's scoring title at 21.6 points per game, joining a star-studded list of past winners that includes Gradey Dick (2022), VJ Edgecombe (2023) and Darius Acuff (2024, 2025).

He also exceled as a rebounder and defender, collecting 6.5 boards and 2.2 steals while shooting 54 percent from the field.

Lutz said:

"It's telling that Anthony led the nation's best high school league in scoring this year, but the first thing people talk about is his defense. He's a tough, disruptive presence who takes pride in making things difficult on the other team. Offensively, he plays downhill, finishes at the rim and finds ways to score within the flow. He's a great kid who plays the game the right way and will give Cowboy fans a lot to cheer about."

No stranger to high level competition, Felesi was teammates with Class of 2025 blue chip A.J. Dybantsa, during his junior year at Utah Prep. He also spent the summer of 2025 competing on the Nike EYBL circuit with Vegas Elite and was selected for the prestigious NBPA Top 100 Camp. In 2024, he took part in training camp with the USA U17 national team ahead of the FIBA World Cup.

Prior to Utah Prep, Felesi starred at Orem High School, helping lead the program to the UHSAA 5A state semifinals as a freshman.

Born in Hawaii and raised in Utah, Felesi comes from an athletic family. His mother, Aisha, played basketball at Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College, and his father was a high school football standout.

Felesi will be the fourth freshman on Oklahoma State's 2026-27 roster, joining a trio of four-star signees from last fall that includes Latrell Allmond (Southern Pines, N.C. / Petersburg (VA) HS), Jalen Montonati (Owasso, Okla. / Owasso HS) and Parker Robinson (Orem, Utah / Utah Prep).
