Derkack is a four-star recruit and ranked in the top-75.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Providence College Head Coach Kim English announced today (Nov. 12) that Aiden Derkack (Colonia, N.J.) has signed a financial aid agreement to attend Providence College in 2026-27.
Derkack, a 6-foot-7-inch, 190-pound guard attends Spire Academy in Geneva, Ohio. In 2024-25, Derkack played at Colonia High School and averaged 24.7 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. In three years at Colonia, Derkack established the school's all-time scoring record. During the summer of 2025, he played for Team Final on the Nike EYBL circuit. In 20 games for Team Final, he averaged 15.2 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists, while shooting 51.0 percent from the field. Derkack had a strong performance at Peach Jam as he concluded his AAU season. In five games at the Peach Jam, he averaged 21.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists. Derkack also shot 67.0 percent from the field. Derkack, a consensus four-star recruit, is the 45th ranked player in the nation and the No. 20 forward, according to ESPN.com. He also is ranked 52nd (fourth in his position) by 247Sports and 65th (19th in his position) by On3.
"We are excited to welcome Aiden Derkack and his family into our Providence College basketball family," English said. "We first fell in love with Aiden two summers ago, watching him compete for Team Final and at Colonia High School in New Jersey. He's a competitive winner, bringing an elite level of toughness and a work ethic that perfectly fits our program's culture. Aiden was born to play in the BIG EAST, and we can't wait to follow his senior season at Spire Academy in Ohio before bringing him into Friartown. Basketball runs deep in the Derkack family: his father was a Division I player and his brother and sister both play Division I basketball. That pedigree of excellence and dedication to the game is something we know will make Aiden a fantastic addition to our team and our community."
