#4 | Neiko Mundey Neiko Mundey 6'2" | PG Shabach Christian | 2026 State MD | Shabach Christian
Mundey is often considered an explosive scorer but doesn’t get enough credit for what he does defensively both on and off the ball. He is certainly a game-changer on both sides of the floor who has a nose for the ball and comes up with steals regularly.
#7 | Jalyn Collingwood Jalyn Collingwood 6'5" | SF Bishop McNamara | 2026 State MD | Bishop McNamara
Collingwood is an energetic wing who excels on the defensive end. He is the ultimate competitor who impacts winning without necessarily scoring.
#35 | DJ Hill DJ Hill 5'8" | PG Maret | 2026 State MD | Maret
Hill has long been considered one of the more menacing on-ball defenders in the DC metro area. Since the early stages of his freshman year, he has been suffocating opponents at the point of attack.
#48 | Donavan Marshburn Donavan Marshburn 6'4" | SF Glenelg Country | 2026 State MD | Glenelg Country
Marshburn is the ultimate hustle guy. He is effective at guarding a few different positions and has good versatility because of his size.
#55 | Gabriel Godette Gabriel Godette 6'1" | SG St. Albans | 2026 State MD | St. Albans
Godette is a responsible defender both on the ball and from the help side. One underrated aspect of his game is how well he communicates with others.
