The recent Northern Iowa commit is one of the fastest players in the state with the ball in his hands, an excellent decision-maker, and a menace on the defensive end with his combination of size, length, and quickness. A 6-4 lead guard who has turned into a dangerous shooter as well, Campbell impacts the game on both ends of the floor for one of 4A’s best teams.
First Team
2022 Trey Campbell Trey Campbell 6'4" | PG Cedar Falls | 2022 State IA , Cedar Falls: 13.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 2.5 steals, 53.5 FG%, 38.6 3P%, 76.9 FT%
With Campbell’s size and quickness, he’s a very difficult player to defend at this level. When you combine that with the fact that he has really improved as a perimeter shooting threat during his high school career, good luck trying to slow him down. Look for him to average 17-18 points a game this season while still being a dynamic playmaking threat for his teammates.
2023 Dallas Bear Dallas Bear 6'8" | SF Cedar Falls | 2023 State #276 Nation IA , Cedar Falls: 5.1 points, 3.1 rebounds, 41.7 3P%
A very talented shooter with great length, Bear held a Division I offer from Bryant before playing his first varsity game. He came off the bench for a hyper-talented Tigers team last year but will be relied upon to be a big-time scorer this season, and he should rise to that task without much difficulty. He has worked to improve his ability to create his own look, and with his size, he can get his shot off whenever he wants.
2022 Jake Walter Jake Walter 5'10" | CG Prairie | 2022 State IA , Prairie: 16.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 46.2 FG%, 37.7 3P%
The leading returning scorer in the division, Walter is a strong three-level scorer for the Hawks. He improved his efficiency numbers tremendously as a junior, and will be the key piece for a Prairie team that should be one of the most improved teams in the state.
2022 Elijah Ward Elijah Ward 6'2" | CG Prairie | 2022 State IA , Prairie: 12.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.3 steals, 47.6 FG%, 83.3 FT%
A talented, slashing wing who is at his best when he’s playing downhill, Ward pairs well with the gifted Walter on the Hawks perimeter. He can shoot it from the arc, but is better when he’s attacking and using his quickness to get to the rim.
2023 Traijan Sain Traijan Sain 6'5" | SF Cedar Rapids Washington | 2023 State IA , Cedar Rapids Washington: 11.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.4 blocks
A high-upside wing with tremendous length, Sain was second on the team in scoring and rebounding last season, and should see both of those numbers elevate following the graduation of Quincy Underwood Quincy Underwood 6'5" | SF Cedar Rapids Washington | 2021 State IA . He’s a great athlete with a developing skill-set and the ability to impact the game on both ends.
