“I am confident of the plan they have for me not only as a player, but as a student,” Crabtree wrote in his Twitter post announcing the commitment.
Crabtree, a 6-foot-6 wing player, was headed for UNC Asheville following his senior season at Orange High School in Hillsborough, North Carolina, where he averaged 25.9 points per game and earned conference and district player of the year honors. However, he changed his plans over the summer and elected to enroll at Hargrave.
Crabtree took official visits to Tulane, Ohio, William & Mary and Wofford in the fall, but since the start of the 2017-18 season, he has attracted interest from the likes of Virginia, Marquette and Cincinnati.
Crabtree, who had a 4.1 grade point average at Orange, can sign his national letter of intent at the start of the spring period in April.
Hargrave is 20-3 heading into a Saturday night home game against Covenant College Prep.
