#1 Cameron Boozer Cameron Boozer 6'9" | PF Columbus | 2025 State #2 Nation FL
Boozer entered his season, considered the best 2025 prospect in the country and left it looking like he could be a top 150 recruit regardless of class. He was the leading scorer on a state championship team that defeated nationally ranked Dr. Phillips. Boozer is a swiss army knife on offense and a tenacious rebounder. The way he operates out of the high post points to an ability to be an offensive hub.
#2 Alexander Lloyd Alexander Lloyd 6'4" | SG Westminster | 2025 State #64 Nation FL
Lloyd stepped onto the court with D1 prospects and varsity veterans establishing himself as a leader. The 6’4 guard was a top 15 scorer in the state. He finished with 639 points on the season, placing him 8th in the category. His size, athletic burst, and scoring repertoire make him the most potent offensive threat in the class. He’s already a potent self creator with three level scoring.
#3 Jamier Jones Jamier Jones 6'5" | SF Sarasota Riverview | 2025 State #16 Nation FL
Jones joined a roster that lost a ton of talent to form the most athletic duo in the state. The 6’6 wing may have the highest upside in this group thanks to his physical tools. Going to see Jones is a ticket to watch a kid get posterized. He’s much more than just a freaky athlete. He possesses great court vision for a wing and draws fouls with his ability to get to the rim. Jones shows flashes of becoming a point forward with his ability to initiate an offense this early in the game.
#4 Cayden Boozer Cayden Boozer 6'5" | PG Columbus | 2025 State #28 Nation FL
Mr. Cool, calm, and collected quarterbacked one of the most potent offenses in the state. There are very few guards as posed as Boozer. His control of an offense is so far beyond his years. The combination of 6’4 size and athleticism allows him to score in the paint. He hardly settles for jumpers, rarely turns the ball over, and makes plays out of the pick and roll.
#5 Shon Abaev Shon Abaev 6'7" | CG Calvary Christian | 2025 State #24 Nation FL
Abaev played high school competition with SOH Elite before he ever took a high school class. That high level of play landed him offers well before he made weekly headlines with Miami Country Day. The thin 6’6 shooting guard shot 43% on 194 attempts beyond the arc. His ability to score off the ball, play make with it in his hands, and finish with both hands.
