Makel Smith Makel Smith 6'1" | CG Morehead | 2024 State NC , Morehead
Smith continues to remain a top unsigned senior guard on the board at Morehead High. He’s averaged 30.5 PPG on 48 percent shooting and leads the Mid-State in 3-pointers made with 98 while shooting 44.7 percent from deep. He’s a prospect for colleges of all levels in the region to get eyes on.
Dionte Neal Dionte Neal 5'10" | PG Reidsville | 2026 State NC , Reidsville
Neal continues to take the state by storm in leading Reidsville High to another unbeaten regular season. He ranks second in the Mid-State in scoring (20.6 PPG), first in assists (10.8 APG) and first in steals (4.3 SPG) as they’re 21-0 on the year and 12-0 in the conference. He’s a floor general who knows how to control the pace and run the show for the Rams. He’ll be a high major target soon enough in the 2026 class.
Jaylen Wilkerson Jaylen Wilkerson 6'0" | CG Walkertown | 2024 State NC , Walkertown
Wilkerson is another familiar face on the PH radar who remains unsigned. He’s a 6-foot-1 guard averaging 18.9 PPG, 3.1 RPG, 2.5 APG and 1.3 SPG as they’re 8-3 in the conference standings, good for second and on a four-game win streak. He’s shooting 51 percent from the floor and 54 percent from behind the arc in Mid-State action as conference tournament play approaches.
Kendre Harrison Kendre Harrison 6'8" | C Reidsville | 2026 State NC , Reidsville
Harrison has been a dominant force in the Reidsville High frontcourt and leads the way with 16 double-doubles on the year behind 18.6 PPG, 15.1 RPG and 3.6 BPG in his sophomore season. He’s been a dominant force this season on both the football field and hardwood and another big reason for their 21-0 record.
