We introduce our updated Class of 2026 rankings!! Rankings are subjective and PrepHoops.com ranks purely upon potential and where the player will be at their basketball peak. Production factors in only when helping prove the potential is greater or lesser. Why did we rank these guys? Why are they at this spot? Take a look at five Class of 2026 prospects and learn a little about their reputation. Peruse the complete 2026 rankings.
#76 Colton Pevahouse Colton Pevahouse 6'1" | SG Perry County | 2026 State TN (Perry County)
Colton is a statistical dream. Only a sophomore, CP is averaging 16.8 ppg, 7.9 rpg, 5.3 apg, and 3.0 spg! Pevahouse’s rebounding totals are outrageous for a guard. It is difficult to find anything to complain about in his game. Long-term his deep shot needs to get better. Otherwise, Pevahouse is a fun, productive player to keep watching.
#77 Jackson McCutcheon Jackson McCutcheon 5'9" | PG Brentwood | 2026 State TN (Brentwood)
Jackson debuted after a wonderful AAU summer. McCutcheon was a fantastic catch-and-shoot guy. In order to reach his complete potential, McCutcheon will have to find minutes at point guard for Brentwood and/or his AAU team. Not sure how that works, because he plays both with Hudson McKnight Hudson McKnight 6'2" | PG Brentwood | 2026 State TN . Ideally, Jackson will be a point guard with great shooting, as opposed to a 5-foot-9 shooting guard.
#78 Zander Holt Zander Holt 5'8" | PG Dickson County | 2026 State TN (Dickson County)
Zander Holt Zander Holt 5'8" | PG Dickson County | 2026 State TN made his ranking debut after a strong AAU showing with the Tennessee Fever. Holt’s ceiling is perhaps limited by his height (5’8″). Clever. Good decision-maker. Holt has not shown consistent outside shooting yet. His strengths are ball-handling, passing, speed, quickness, poise.
#79 Champ Nix Champ Nix 6'3" | SG Beech | 2026 State TN (Beech)
Beech Team PreviewChamp Nix Champ Nix 6'3" | SG Beech | 2026 State TN can shoot it and the team will welcome him stepping out to handle or shoot.
#80 Kaedyn Marable Kaedyn Marable 6'1" | SF Battle Ground Academy (Football) | 2026 State TN (Battle Ground Academy)
At 6-foot-1, when younger, Marable played like an athletic wing in June. His upside was unclear because the skills lagged behind other young guards, but the bounce and agility was ahead. Completely unaware of high school football, I just today found out he plays football. Marable is apparently a very good quarterback. That makes a lot of sense regarding his modest basketball skills. Marable, at 6-foot-1 and not a point guard, looks to have a low basketball ceiling without a lot more ball-handling and shooting work.
