Will this circuit oscillate around 24.68MHz?

Actually, the transistor is cut off unless the current source can provide current when the voltage across it is negative. This will work fine in a simulation, but you probably won't be able to make a real-world current source work in this circuit unless you return it to a negative voltage.
In that case, you wouldn't need the 50k resistor.
What I'm trying to say is that the inductor is grounding the base at DC. The simplest fix is a cap in series with the inductor.
