#1 Corner Canyon
Not only is CCHS #1 on ours site they are making waves across the country coning in the Top 25 among schools across the country. Brody just signed with USC and unsigned seniors like Derelle Desire and Taylor Feroah Taylor Feroah 6'7" | SG Corner Canyon | 2024 State UT should be next level players getting solid looks.
#2 American Fork
This team could easily make a move up here and across the country as they play a really good schedule. Tiger Cuff Tiger Cuff 6'4" | CG American Fork | 2024 State UT just signed with Weber State and Blake Rawson Blake Rawson 6'8" | PF American Fork | 2024 State UT and Reese Dent provide some really good mature size.
#3 Alta
Alta at full-strength might be able to hang with anyone and we will get a #2 vs. #3 matchup to start things off in Week 1. Ace Reiser Ace Reiser 6'0" | PG Alta | 2024 State UT is a handful and the emergence of Carter Doleac Carter Doleac 6'8" | PF Alta | 2024 State UT is much needed. Jaxon Johnson Jaxon Johnson 6'8" | SF Alta | 2024 State #106 Nation UT made it official as he signs with Utah.
#4 Dixie
Dixie is a team that could really make a big push a few spots up, especially if they run the table. Kyle Lemke Kyle Lemke 6'9" | C Dixie | 2024 State UT might be the most dominant big in high school ball here in Utah. Dixie has some tough players like Breackon Robinson and Logan Weidaure to go along with smart PG Jordan Roberts Jordan Roberts 6'0" | PG Dixie | 2024 State UT .
#5 Lone Peak
LP at full strength might be able to run with anyone, especially now with Chamberlain being able to move to the 4 with the addition of Ty Cogswell, then you add Ike Staley Ike Staley 6'6" | SG Lone Peak | 2025 State UT this team just got big. They have some other pieces that might give teams trouble.
#6 Springville
Jamyn is the next best future big in the state and he is getting a ton of D1 attention. Springville also has guards that can defend and shoot the ball. The addition of Andrew Miller gives them a player that can get up and down the floor that will attack the rim.
#7 Olympus
Olympus has a few players that can completely take over so as they go the team will go. Jordan Barnes Jordan Barnes 6'4" | PG Olympus | 2024 State UT and Dutch Dowdell Dutch Dowdell 6'6" | SG Olympus | 2024 State #310 Nation UT are tough and they are arguably the best backcourt in the state.
#8 Lehi
Lehi might have a team with all guards lol, but these dudes can hoop and they are tough. Easton Hawkins Easton Hawkins 6'4" | CG Lehi | 2025 State UT starting to really play well. Cooper Lewis Cooper Lewis 6'1" | PG Lehi | 2024 State UT can score from allover and Grayson Brousseau Grayson Brousseau 6'6" | PF Lehi | 2024 State UT is better than he gest credit for. Don’t sleep on Lehi.
#9 Layton
Layton has some dudes and it starts with the three headed monster at guard in David Katoa David Katoa 6'4" | CG Layton | 2024 State #255 Nation UT , KJ Miller KJ Miller 6'3" | CG Layton | 2024 State UT and Mekhi martin. that is a handful of players you need to account for.
#10 Highland
Will be one of the most improved programs in the state and they will be lead by a young Class of 2026 player in Isaiah Drisdom Isaiah Drisdom 6'0" | PG Highland | 2026 State UT . This kid is an ALPHA and he has a squad around him with shooters like Matt Lambson Matt Lambson 5'11" | SG Highland | 2024 State UT and bigs like Soren Ries Soren Ries 6'8" | PF Highland | 2026 State UT , Sefa Brown Sefa Brown 6'5" | SF Highland | 2024 State UT and George McConkie George McConkie 6'8" | C Highland | 2024 State UT .
#11 Farmington
Paul Beattie Paul Beattie 6'9" | PF Farmington | 2024 State UT and Jayden Haskell Jayden Haskell 6'3" | CG Farmington | 2024 State UT are tough and they have a plethora of guards that they can turn too to help in the perimeter. Ethan Atkinson Ethan Atkinson 6'8" | PF Farmington | 2024 State UT will be a big part of their success.
#12 Bingham
Every one on this team plays hard and they play hard on defense. Luke West Luke West 6'2" | SG Bingham | 2026 State UT and Stockton Tueller Stockton Tueller 6'2" | CG Bingham | 2024 State UT will be part of their scoring duo. Look for everyone els eto play their role.
#13 Herriman
Herriman is getting a lot of hype with their new coach and a roster that is super tuff on paper. Carlo Mulford Carlo Mulford 6'0" | PG Herriman | 2026 State UT and Ike Palmer Ike Palmer 6'6" | CG Herriman | 2024 State UT are going to be a handful. Cale Barclay Cale Barclay 6'8" | PF Herriman | 2025 State UT and Malcom Johnson Malcom Johnson 6'6" | SF Herriman | 2024 State UT are also really good. Stay tuned on this team but they can really rise with the potential they have on the squad.
#14 Orem
Orem will be lead by Jax Allen Jax Allen 6'4" | CG Orem | 2025 State #391 Nation UT , Chance Dastrup Chance Dastrup 5'10" | PG Orem | 2025 State UT and Kai Wesley Kai Wesley 6'8" | PF Orem | 2026 State UT . Look out for Tate Robinson Tate Robinson 6'2" | SG Orem | 2026 State UT this kid can shoot.
#15 Rdigeline
Jagger Francom Jagger Francom 6'8" | C Ridgeline | 2024 State UT has an opportunity to do damage with his size and skills, Carson Cox Carson Cox 6'4" | CG Ridgeline | 2024 State UT and company will handle the slashing and shooting but this team is always well coached and they should be tough to beat.
#16 Layton Christian
A lot of new players on the team but look out for two D1 potential players like Otavio Armani Otavio Armani 6'5" | CG Layton Christian | 2024 State UT and Tyrin Jones Tyrin Jones 6'9" | CG Layton Christian | 2025 State UT , these two could both put up big umbers this year.
#17 Bountiful
Bountiful could surprise some people but nobody will be surprised with the ability that Carson Smith Carson Smith 6'6" | CG Bountiful | 2024 State UT has as a three-man. Then the shooter Charlie Smith Charlie Smith 6'5" | SG Bountiful | 2025 State UT could get hot and change things quickly.
#18 Timpview
Timpview is young but their lack of experience might just allow them to play loose and tehy will have fun. Dean Rueckert Dean Rueckert 6'7" | SF Timpview | 2026 State UT is as good a player as there is in the country and the rise of Mason Ford Mason Ford 6'1" | PG Timpview | 2026 State UT is impressive, keep an eye on them and that young talent over there.
#19 Davis
Davis should get really good play from Ike Morgan Ike Morgan 5'10" | PG Davis | 2024 State UT , Coleman Atwater Coleman Atwater 6'3" | PG Davis | 2025 State UT and Zach Fisher Zach Fisher 6'7" | CG Davis | 2024 State UT . Anything can happen with this team.
#20 Snow Canyon
Snow Canyon has some good players but none better than Owen Mackay Owen Mackay 6'5" | CG Snow Canyon | 2024 State UT , this kid is the real deal and he might just be a highlight reel all year long.
#21 Weber
Weber has a shot to shock some people as they have one of the best scorers in the state with Hunter Schenck Hunter Schenck 6'2" | PG Weber | 2024 State UT and the emergance of Malachi Spencer Malachi Spencer 6'7" | CG Weber | 2024 State UT .
#22 Fremont
Really like some young players at Fremont but vet player Hunter Hansen Hunter Hansen 6'4" | PG Fremont | 2024 State UT should have a great season as long as he can stay healthy. Like what we have seen from Easton Duft Easton Duft 5'9" | PG Fremont | 2025 State UT and Jaxon Slaugh Jaxon Slaugh 6'2" | CG Fremont | 2025 State UT this fall.
#23 Riverton
Riverton was a sleeper last year and this year they will likely have to prove it again. Talk about a team that could just hurt you with the sheer amount of players that can score the ball. They will spread out that scoring well.
#24 Westlake
Westlake has a lot of youngsters and they usually play upperclassmen so we are excited to see what they put out on the floor. Symon Su’a is talented.
#25 Juan Diego
Juan Diego is in a rebuild but they still have some dudes, look for new names to emerge here but Rahiti Tiniauari is good and so is Luke Meyer Luke Meyer 6'8" | PF Juan Diego Catholic | 2025 State UT .
