#18 | Malcolm Thomas Malcolm Thomas 6'8" | PF DeMatha | 2024 State #122 Nation MD | DeMatha
Thomas had some bright moments on both ends of the floor for the Stags throughout his sophomore campaign. His father, Etan Thomas, was a standout player at Syracuse and a lottery pick who played nearly a decade for the Washington Wizards.
#19 | Jake Tringone Jake Tringone 6'7" | PF Sandy Spring Friends | 2024 State MD | Sandy Spring
Quite frankly, Tringone was accidentally omitted from our previous rankings update. He caught our eye during the preseason with Sandy Spring and continued to play a vital role for the Beests on their run to the PVAC Championship.
#28 | Andre Thomas III Andre Thomas III 6'0" | CG Shabach Christian Academy | 2024 State MD | St. Mary’s Ryken
We caught a glimpse of Thomas this season when Ryken hosted Paul VI. He started that game and was one of the top performers for the Knights. It’s not far-fetched to think Thomas played a key role throughout a promising season for Ryken.
#36 | Keishawn Harper Keishawn Harper 5'10" | PG Takoma Academy | 2024 State MD | Takoma Academy
Harper emerged on our radar this spring while playing with the DMV Stags. He is a great defender on the ball who gets paint touches on offense and makes plays on both ends of the floor.
#39 | Keyon Starkey-Webb Keyon Starkey-Webb 5'10" | PG Friendship Collegiate | 2024 State MD | Friendship Collegiate
Starkey helped lead Friendship Collegiate to the PCSAA Championship game. He is a skilled lead guard who sets the table on offense and competes defensively.
#42 | Korey Trone Korey Trone 6'0" | PG Seneca Valley | 2024 State MD | Seneca Valley
Trone was one of two sophomores who started at Seneca Valley this season. He ran the point effectively, getting others open shots at a high frequency and being solid at the point of attack on defense.
#46 | Joebari Parsons Joebari Parsons 6'2" | SF Friendship Tech | 2024 State MD | Friendship Tech
Parsons was an indispensable player for the Titans on their way to winning the PCSAA Championship. He helps his team control the glass and has a knack for coming up with timely momentum-shifting plays in part as a result of his relentless motor.
#47 | Brendan Abell Brendan Abell 6'2" | SF Severna Park | 2024 State MD | Severna Park
Abell is another terrific find from the spring who is running with the DMV Stags. Versatility is possibly his main selling point. Abell spaces the floor effectively but also guards several positions.
