Updated 2026 Rankings: Forwards (13-6)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The first ever Prep Hoops VA class of 2026 rankings came out, ranking the top freshman/rising sophomores in the state. Obviously with this being the first one, there will be a lot of changes moving forward as players grow, develop and emerge over the next few years. The 48 player prospect rankings are just a starting point, and we're excited to continue to monitor and learn new names moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a look at part one of the power forward and center rankings in the 2026 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>13) [player_tooltip player_id='1782700' first='Aiden' last='Woodberry'] | 6'3” PF | Bishop Ireton (#38 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Woodberry has a chance to move from the forwards list to the wings list at some point in the future, as he has a lot of tools to suggest that he'll be able to play and guard on the perimeter at the next level. The 6'3” forward is a versatile mismatch as he is strong enough to clear out space in the paint and finish and rebound, he can take defenders on the perimeter where he can put it on the deck and he's a good passer too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>12) [player_tooltip player_id='1963528' first='Medwyn' last='Opoku-Arthur'] | 6'5” C | Potomac (#32 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Opoku-Arthur is the younger brother of former Potomac and Mount St. Mary's star Nana Opoku, and he shows a lot of the same qualities of his brother as a high motor rim runner and rim protector. He has long arms and great timing when he gets off his feet to protect the rim, he's a good rebounder and outlet passer and he can run the floor and finish and he still has a lot of room to improve moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>11) Kong Twanga | 6'5” C | Potomac (#31 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Twanga and Opoku-Arthur are going to be a handful for NOVA schools to deal with over the next few years, as they compliment each other well and both have a lot of room for improvement moving forward. Twanga is the physical presence who will bang in the post and can get physical with stronger bigs, he has good touch around the rim with both hands and he is a monster on the glass and gets a lot of extra opportunities for his team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>10) [player_tooltip player_id='1782697' first='Cooper' last='Sundra'] | 6'7” PF | Paul VI (#30 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sundra's older brother Garrett is one of a number of national level prospects for this very talented PVI team, and if Cooper follows his level of improvement he'll have a chance to be one as well. The 6'7” forward is a natural athlete who runs the floor hard and is likely still growing, he can knock down shots on the perimeter and he has good feet allowing him to stay in front and challenge shots defensively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>9) [player_tooltip player_id='1963533' first='Ryan' last='Brzezanski'] | 6'6” PF | Briar Woods (#29 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brezezanski had one of the most impressive freshman seasons of anyone on this list, as he started for Briar Woods and was Second Team All District in a very talented Potomac District. He has an advanced game for a big man his age as he has the ability to stretch the floor from deep, he's a physical paint presence who rebounds and has soft touch around the rim and he does the dirty work as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>8) [player_tooltip player_id='1782681' first='Odita' last='Aguolu'] | 6'7” PF | Blue Ridge (#24 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1978863,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Aguolo-Odita.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Aguolo-Odita.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1978863" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We have Aguolu at the wrong position and I'll admit that after watching him at Southern Jamfest and the CBG Memorial Day Showcase, as he's a long and athletic wing with high upside moving forward. He's a big time athlete who runs the floor and plays above the rim effortlessly and with authority when he gets downhill, he can make shots from deep when he's left open and he has big time upside as a lock down perimeter defender too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>7) [player_tooltip player_id='1963396' first='Travis' last='Holloman'] | 6'7” C | Life Christian Academy (#21 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Holloman is one to keep an eye on for an LCA team that is on the rise, as he was their biggest perimeter threat as just a freshman helping them to an appearance in the VISAA D3 state championship game. The 6'7” big man is a load in the paint with good hands and feet and the ability to clear out space, he can finish with both hands around the rim and can finish above the rim and he shows good touch out to 18 feet as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>6) [player_tooltip player_id='1963395' first='Cameron' last='Prosper'] | 6'6” PF | Bishop Ireton (#20 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prosper is part of a talented young Ireton team that will be able to compete in the WCAC if they all stay together, and his versatility makes him very intriguing moving forward. At 6'6” he's a skilled forward who can play inside-out and has good touch around the rim, he has long arms and is able to get deflections and challenge shots both in the paint and on the perimeter and he can stretch the floor from deep as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
