As a junior in 2025-26, Pruzinsky averaged 12.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.8 blocks, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 27.5 minutes per game, recording 17 double-doubles.

As a sophomore, he averaged 11.4 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.1 blocks, earning District 11 Second Team All-District honors for a 25-9 team.
Pruzinsky was named to the All-Tournament team at the 2025 Cy Hoops Invitational and the 2025 Dallas Invitational, where he was Player of the Game against Carter. He also earned All-Tournament honors at the 2024 Byron Nelson Classic and Knights of Columbus tournaments. He was a 2024 Prep Hoops All-Sophomore Standout, a 2024 Pangos co-MVP, and attended the 2025 Wootten Top 150 and Nike Top 100.

"Xander is a skilled, versatile forward whose high motor, size, and physicality will be tremendous additions to our program," said Barnett. "His ability to rebound, protect the rim, and finish around the basket gives him several ways to impact winning. Even more importantly, his energy, character, and love for others will make our program better beyond the court. We've loved watching his growth and believe his best basketball is ahead of him. We're thrilled to welcome Xander, his parents Ron and Sherri, and his brothers Vischer and Willem to our ORU family."
