Standing at 6-foot-10, Costello was offered on the same day he won the 2025 Pangos All-American Camp MVP, which is one of the most prestigious camps for top recruits across the country. Some notable past MVPs include James Harden, John Wall and Anthony Davis, among others.

Costello hails from Boston and plays his AAU ball for a program called the Middlesex Magic, which plays on the Under Armour circuit. On the latest 247Sports Composite, he is ranked as the 144th player in the class of 2026; the No. 28 power forward in the country; and the fifth-best player from Massachusetts.

He holds other power conference offers from Stanford, Notre Dame and Vanderbilt.

Medved and his staff already have in-state guard Cedric Tomes committed to their 2026 class, but Costello immediately becomes one of the most interesting names to monitor.
