One of two Regals who saw significant time as a freshman, Litton is a 6-4 forward with some bounce in him, which he pairs with soft hands and good touch to be a solid two-way player on the interior. He averaged 8.1 points and 4.3 rebounds a game on 63% shooting.
(42) SG Audric Pelzer Audric Pelzer 5'10" | SG Norwalk | 2027 State IA | Norwalk | Martin Brothers
Pelzer came off the bench to provide a bit of a scoring spark for the Warriors as a freshman, and he figures to be a huge piece for them moving forward. The coach’s son has a high basketball IQ, knowing where to position himself on both ends of the floor, and while he didn’t shoot it particularly well from deep as a freshman, his stroke will be a major weapon as he gains more comfort playing varsity basketball.
(43) SF Easton McGraw Easton McGraw 6'4" | SF Indianola | 2027 State IA | Indianola | Iowa Suns
McGraw is another key piece of a very young Indianola team, a 6-4 wing who can score from all three levels, creating shots off the dribble for himself and his teammates. With his size, he’s able to get to his shot pretty much whenever he wants, and he can provide some versatility on the defensive end. He averaged 8.2 points and 4.8 rebounds a game for Indianola as a freshman.
(44) SG Will Van Vark Will Van Vark 6'0" | SG Knoxville | 2027 State IA | Knoxville | Iowa Barnstormers
Van Vark is a 5-11 combo guard who can play with or without the ball in his hands, showing the ability to create looks off the dribble for himself and his teammates, or knock down shots off the catch. He’s part of a strong 2027 class at Knoxville.
(45) PF Cayden Larson Cayden Larson 6'6" | PF Prairie | 2027 State IA | Prairie | Kingdom Hoops
A 6-6/6-7 big man with a load of potential, Larson has good hands and is a mobile big who runs the floor well. He can be a strong presence in the paint as a rim protector, and while his offensive game is still a work in progress, he is a pretty good finisher around the rim.
(46) PG Braylin DeJager Braylin DeJager 5'10" | PG Council Bluffs Lincoln | 2027 State IA | Council Bluffs Lincoln | Iowa Impact
Another combo guard who can play with or without the ball in his hands, DeJager is someone that the Lynx coaches are excited about moving forward. He shoots it well off the dribble and is a talented playmaker with the ball in his hands.
(47) SG Thomas DeWall Thomas DeWall 6'1" | SG Indianola | 2027 State IA | Indianola | Iowa Suns
The fourth Indianola player ranked within the top 50 of this update, DeWall is a 6-1 guard who can play with or without the ball in his hands. He’s a sharpshooting guard off the catch who can help space the floor with his quick release.
(48) PG Cooper Huston Cooper Huston 5'9" | PG Dallas Center-Grimes | 2027 State IA | Dallas Center-Grimes | All Iowa Attack
A point guard who looks a lot like older brother Bo, Huston (pictured) is a talented playmaker with the ball in his hands who can create for his teammates or shoot it at a high clip off the dribble. He doesn’t shy away from contact in the paint, despite being a smaller player, and he is an active defender with quick hands.
(49) PF Drake Pfaltzgraff Drake Pfaltzgraff 6'5" | PF Bondurant-Farrar | 2027 State IA | Bondurant-Farrar
Pfaltzgraff is an athletic, mobile 6-4/6-5 big man who runs the floor hard, competes on the glass on both ends of the floor, and can protect the paint defensively with his size and leaping ability.
(50) SF David William David William 6'1" | SF Storm Lake | 2027 State IA | Storm Lake
William is a 6-2 wing with a ton of upside, and could be one of the better long-term prospects in the class if he continues to grow. He’s an eye-popping athlete with a great second jump that he uses to compete on the glass and protect the paint, and with his length and athletic ability, he can provide some versatility on the defensive end.
