#2 Jalen Rougier-Roane Jalen Rougier-Roane 6'5" | CG Sidwell Friends | 2025 State #142 Nation MD | Sidwell Friends (DC)
Rougier-Roane was one of the first names that came to mind when thinking of this list. I’ve seen him routinely make winning plays on defense in the biggest moments.
#4 Eric Reibe Eric Reibe 7'0" | C Bullis | 2025 State #82 Nation MD | Bullis (MD)
Reibe is a 7-footer who is very effective as a rim protector. He makes opponents think twice before challenging him in the paint.
#7 Jayden Fort Jayden Fort 6'8" | PF Jackson-Reed | 2025 State #128 Nation MD | Jackson-Reed (DC)
Fort has ridiculous length which makes him a menace defensively. He stuffs the stat sheet in terms of deflections, steals, and blocks.
#17 Jaren Curtis Jaren Curtis 6'1" | PG Bishop McNamara | 2025 State MD | Bishop McNamara (MD)
Curtis brings a Marcus Smart type of energy on defense. He is capable of completely taking a ball-handler out of a game.
#20 Omari Witherspoon Omari Witherspoon 6'4" | CG St. John's | 2025 State MD | St. John’s (DC)
Witherspoon’s versatility is an underrated element that could unlock his defensive potential. He’s equipped to match up with multiple types of foes given his rangy 6’4″ frame.
