He’s an elite on-ball defender, one of the best in the country, and he locked up some of Georgia’s best guards throughout the season. Nash’s strength, toughness, and attention to detail are what make him so special. He’s been battle-tested on the big stages and always showed up for the big games. Nash remains the top unsigned prospect in Georgia and has plenty of D1 offers to choose from.
Highlights
Tucker went on a huge run to end the year, currently riding a 17 game win streak into the playoffs, and Khayri Dunn Khayri Dunn 6’1″ | CG Tucker | 2024 State GA has been a huge part of their success. Dunn is a defensive-minded point guard that plays with a competitive fire. He’s not the biggest guard but he’s strong and extremely physical which wears on opposing guards. Dunn’s energy is contagious and he makes his teammates better on the defensive end. He’ll be a steal for whoever lands him this late in the game.
While guys like Wilkins and Harris are frequently praised by the media, Grayson would not be where they are right now without the defense of Anthony Alston Anthony Alston 6’2″ | SG Grayson | 2024 State GA . He’s excelled in his role this year, heading up the defense while provided sparks on the offensive end when called upon. Alston forces a lot of turnovers which often lead to easy transition points. He’s headed to Appalachian State next year where his defense could make an immediate impact.
Joah Chappelle Joah Chappelle 6’8″ | SF Dutchtown | 2024 State GA had a breakout season for Dutchtown, providing high-level production on both ends of the floor. At 6’8, Chappelle is an extremely versatile defender that guarded every position on the floor throughout the year. While Matt Hinton usually takes the big man, Chappelle can really frustrate guards and wings with his length and mobility. The motor is never a question and Chappelle takes pride in his blue-collar approach. He recently received an offer from Morehouse, several LM D1s and D2s are showing interest as well.
Chapel Hill has been one of the top defensive teams in the entire state this year and Ramon Soyoye Ramon Soyoye 6’10” | C Chapel Hill | 2024 State GA is their anchor inside. Soyoye was the best rim-protector we saw this year, able to cover so much ground around the basket with his 6’10 frame and eye-popping wingspan. Whether it’s blocking or altering shots, Soyoye makes it incredibly tough for teams to score inside. Missouri State offered him this summer but rumor has it Soyoye will be going post-grad and reclassing to 2025.
