Steven Ashworth is 24 years old, playing at Creighton

Creighton basketball player Steven Ashworth is 24 years old, making him one of the oldest competitors in the NCAA Tournament this year. Born on May 1, 2000, Ashworth has had a notable college journey. He has five years of experience, having started college later due to a two-year Mormon mission after high school. Ashworth began his college career at Utah State in 2020 and quickly established himself as a skilled shooter. In his junior year, he hit 43.4% of his three-point attempts. After three seasons with the Aggies, he transferred to Creighton for the 2023-24 season, stepping into a bigger role after the departure of another player. This season, he is averaging 16.5 points and 6.8 assists per game. Fans noticed Ashworth's age during a recent game where CBS cameras showed his son, Tommy, cheering in the stands. Ashworth and his wife, Peyton, welcomed Tommy in June 2024. The couple has been married since 2021. This year marks Ashworth's final season in college basketball. He is part of a group of players who received an eligibility waiver during the COVID-19 pandemic. Once the season ends, both he and teammate Ryan Kalkbrenner will have exhausted their college eligibility, leaving Creighton to rebuild for the next season.
