The 6-7 forward is evolving past being just a raw athlete—he's knocking down jumpers, handling the ball, and making plays in traffic. His size, physicality, and expanding offensive skill set make him a matchup headache.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2415592' first='Jacari' last='Lofton'] | F | 2026 | Edgewater</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the more explosive forwards this offseason. Lofton showed off his bounce and defensive instincts. His highlight-reel dunk and multiple blocked shots energized his team, and his high-motor rebounding kept possessions alive all game. He's just scratching the surface of his long-term potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Trey Mitchell | F | 2027 | Mosley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Trey was consistent all weekend, averaging 17.5 points, 10.5 boards, and 4 assists en route to a perfect 4-0 showing.

He continues to add mobility to his game, and if that development continues, he could become a key two-way contributor at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1633086' first='Trace' last='Westercamp'] | F | 2026 | Ponte Vedra</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A rising 6-9 forward who brings real stretch-4 potential.

He impacts the game with his rebounding, activity, and improving shot-making ability.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2804162' first='Derwyn' last='Link'] | F | 2028 | Bartow</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Link continues to show off his size and instincts around the rim which have stood out this offseason as he earned a recent FSU offer.!Link's rim protection, touch, and presence scream high-major upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Mike Broxton | C | 2026 | Gibbs</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6-10 big man with viral buzz is starting to put together some real flashes.

He's raw but the tools are there—if it all comes together, he'll be a problem in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2827196' first='Shannon' last='McArthur'] | F | 2027 | Santa Fe</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McArthur brings length and activity every time he steps on the floor. He was a presence on the glass, played physical on defense, and flashed some soft touch from mid-range. One of those forwards you win with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>London Hatch | F | 2026 | Dr. Phillips</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 6-5, Hatch plays like a sniper in a forward's body. He shot the ball extremely well at the FABC, made tough plays on both ends, and continues to catch attention from D1 and D2 programs. High-efficiency, high-IQ prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2514171' first='Will' last='Rydzewski'] | F | 2027 | Episcopal</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rydzewski has grown into a polished 6-8 forward. His mid-range jumper and post game continue to evolve, and he had a big showing with a 21-point, 9-rebound, 3-assist performance. A solid young big trending upward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ethan Jeanlouis | F | 2027 | Coral Glades</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jeanlouis was a two-way difference-maker. He's a true rim protector and glass cleaner with sneaky footwork and athleticism. Offensively, he finishes above the rim and keeps defenders off balance with his face-up game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Dewayne Dixon | F | 2026 | Evans</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dixon checks a lot of the physical boxes at 6-9 with a long wingspan. He had a few strong finishes, altered shots, and looked more assertive on both ends. Still developing, but the potential is there.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Andrew Ferguson | F | 2027 | Seminole</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ferguson was physical and consistent all weekend, averaging 15 points, 11 rebounds, and 2 blocks.
