Long Island Lutheran (N.Y.) continues to make additions to its 2025-26 roster. An impressive power forward prospect is making his way from Ohio to the Empire State for his senior season.

TJ Crumble announced on Tuesday via X that he’s headed to the national power after spending time at Lutheran East (Ohio). The Cleveland product also previously played at Richmond Heights in the Buckeye State.

As a junior for Lutheran East, Crumble averaged over 26 points and 13 rebounds per game, per Samad Hines of The Grind Hoops. He’s continued to showcase his talent this summer playing for WV Gold of the PRO16 League.

Long Island Lutheran has also added a notable junior to its roster this summer in point guard Jamaal McKnight, a 5-foot-11, 180-pounder who comes from DeMatha Catholic in Maryland. The Crusaders are set to be led by senior five-star Dylan Mingo, the No. 1 point guard in the 2026 cycle. Last season, LuHi was paced by incoming Syracuse freshman Kiyan Anthony, the son of Carmelo Anthony.

As a prospect, Crumble checks in at No. 115 nationally, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 17 power forward and was the No. 6 player in Ohio.
