Here’s a look at part two of the top forwards in the class, ranking some of the top power forwards and centers in the sophomore class.
10) Evan Brown Evan Brown 6'7" | PF Bishop Ireton | 2026 State VA | 6’7” PF | Bishop Ireton (#40 Overall)
Bwon moved to Ireton from Highland where at times he got caught up in their deep front court, but the upside for him is really intriguing with what he’s working with already. At 6’7” he has long limbs and is likely still growing into his body, he has good hands and soft touch in the paint, he can play in the high post and he moves well defensively both laterally and getting off his feet.
9) Darius Gray Darius Gray 6'5" | C St. Christopher's | 2026 State VA | 6’6” C | St. Chris (#34 Overall)
Gray is a very unique athlete for his size, as he’s a big time football recruit on the offensive line and in basketball he has a unique blend of touch, skill and agility for a bruiser of a big like him. The first thing he does is make everything difficult in the paint with his size and ability to clog the lane and challenge shots, he scores it well over the shoulder and can step out and make shots at the elbow and he is an enforcer and absolute monster on the glass.
8) Cameron Prosper Cameron Prosper 6'6" | PF Hayfield | 2026 State VA | 6’6” PF | Freedom-Woodbridge (#33 Overall)
Prosper will turn heads in the next few seasons as he continues to grow into his body and grow his game, as he already has a lot of tools that make him very intriguing. He has good size and is a good athlete who can get up and down the floor, he has long arms that he uses to challenge shots and rebound in traffic and he is showing improved timing and touch as a finisher.
7) Haoxing Huang Haoxing Huang 6'7" | PF St. Anne's Belfield | 2026 State VA | 6’7” PF | STAB (#23 Overall)
Huang is somewhat of a mystery as he’s still learning the game after coming over from China, but he’s so intriguing as he is a big time athlete with size and we all know what that can become in basketball. He’s very mobile and able to run the floor, he can play above the rim effortlessly and has tons of upside as a shot blocker and he goes to a school that is known to develop players from a skill set standpoint.
6) Odita Aguolu Odita Aguolu 6'6" | PF St. Michaels | 2026 State VA | 6’6” PF | King George (#22 Overall)
Aguolu was at Blue Ridge before transferring home to King George, and he’s very intriguing with his athleticism and ability to play multiple positions as well. Aguolou is the type of player that will impress immediately with his ability to play above the rim and make plays defensively, as he’s a big time athlete who is only going to be more impressive with time. He’s also improved in his ability to knock down shots and put it on the deck, he’s able to guard posts and work as a mismatch against other bigs and he can move to the wing as well.
