Class of 2025 standout shooting guard Davis Fogle commits to Gonzaga

Hours before the July 4 fireworks began, Gonzaga made some noise about its 2025 recruiting class.

Davis Fogle, a 6-foot-7, 185-pound guard ranked No. 31 nationally by one recruiting service, committed to the Bulldogs on Thursday.

The Anacortes, Washington, native is the first commitment in Gonzaga's 2025 class.

Fogle announced his three finalists Wednesday: GU, Kansas and Creighton. He visited the Spokane and Gonzaga campuses during Hoopfest last weekend and made his final decision a few days later.

Fogle, who did not visit Kansas or Creighton, had numerous options, including scholarship offers from the Big Ten, Big East, Big 12, SEC, Mountain West and former Pac-12 programs.

“I also want to thank all the coaches who took the time to recruit me,” Fogle said in an Instagram post, shortly after thanking his parents, teammates, coaches and manager. “This has been one of the most incredible times of my life and a dream come true. With that being said, I will be committing to Gonzaga University.”

Fogle has accompanied Anacortes High to Gonzaga training camps in the past, and GU assistant coach Stephen Gentry has visited Fogle three times in Anacortes. He is ranked No. 43 in On3.com's industry rankings, which are based on four recruiting sites.

Fogle is the first piece of what is expected to be a strong recruiting class for 2025. Gonzaga has seven seniors on its roster for the upcoming season. The program made a point of adding three more players for 2024 — point guard Braeden Smith, forward Emmanuel Innocenti and 6-foot-10 Ismaila Diagne — to recruit players who can contribute this year but can take on bigger roles next season.

Smith, a transfer from Colgate, is expected to redshirt this season.

Gonzaga has shown strong interest in several highly-rated 2025 prospects, including 6-foot-6, 200-pound guard Isiah Harwell, who plays at Wasatch Academy in Utah, the school where Nolan Hickman finished his prep career; 6-foot-10 forward Nikolas Khamenia, a standout at Harvard-Westlake High School in Studio City, Calif.; and 6-foot-10, 200-pound forward Jalen Haralson, who plays at La Lumiere School in Indiana.

Harwell, who was sidelined last season with a torn ACL, is No. 7, Haralson No. 9 and Khamenia No. 28 in the 247sports composite rankings.

Fogle made 30-plus point games routine in high school and can produce points inside and out.

He is a quality ball leader standing at 6'3″ and capable of creating shots for himself and his teammates.

Fogle, who will play his senior season at AZ Compass Prep in Chandler, Ariz., averaged 31.4 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and made 50 percent of his field goal attempts last season.

He led Anacortes to the 2A state quarterfinals last year before the Seahawks lost to North Kitsap and 6-5 guard Cade Orness, who will be a preferred walk-on at Gonzaga this fall.

Fogle scored 24.6 points per game as a sophomore.
