When it comes to wings out there that have size and skill it doesn’t get better than Dean Rueckert Dean Rueckert 6'7" | SF Timpview | 2026 State UT at Timpview. This kid is staring to have that take over mentality. He scores at all three levels and he is smooth with it. He can out the ball on the floor and he is basically that big guard breed starting to come out all over the country. Along those lines you have that next level big in Kai Wesley Kai Wesley 6'8" | PF Orem | 2026 State UT who has size and his leaping ability is starting to pop.
At guard positions you have a talented and athletic guard in Luke West Luke West 6'2" | SG Bingham | 2026 State UT who can be on the ball or off the ball. He is throwing it down with two hands now. the very well known Anthony Felesi Anthony Felesi 6'6" | CG Utah Prep | 2026 State UT who is big time already. Impressive athletic and skill growth from Junior County Junior County 6'5" | PG Utah Prep | 2026 State UT who will suit up with RSL Academy.
Smaller guards that are tough are Gavin Lowe Gavin Lowe 5'10" | PG Olympus | 2026 State UT this kid is small but he can fly and he is quick. Another elite PG heading to Olympus.

Carlo Mulford Carlo Mulford 6'0" | PG Herriman | 2026 State UT has that Alpha mentality out there directing traffic breaking players off the dribble and making some tough outside jumpers and pull up jumper.
Zak Paepke and Dash Reiser Dash Reiser 5'9" | CG Alta | 2026 State UT really help Alta bring up another set of young guards that will develop nicely with the talent they have on the floor currently. Don’t be surprised if both of them get on the floor as freshman.
Look out for the youngster Koli Fosita at Cyprus he has height, strength and a good motor. Nice all-around game.
A player that seems to keep growing and will continue to grow is Tyler Mortensen Tyler Mortensen 6'3" | CG Corner Canyon | 2026 State UT heading to Corner Canyon. Good guard that makes shots and makes some plays with his motor and IQ.
Bryce Mella Bryce Mella 6'5" | CG Mountain View | 2026 State UT at Mountain View is one of the toughest physical kids in the class. He is already trouble but if he gets a few more inches he is going to be a problem
