2026 Non-Public A Top Available Guard Prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2026 available pool got a little bit smaller this week as Bergen Catholic guard <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2342638' first='Jaden' last='Brown']</strong> committed to Fairfield. The class still has the talent to make an impact at the next level, especially in Non-Public A. Here are the 2026 top available Non-Public A guard prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1788762' first='Will' last='Spross'], 6'2 PG Paul VI</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Spross is the top available Non-Public A guard prospect and should put his game on display this season. The 6'2 guard has a tight handle, which he uses to blow by his defender and is a crafty finisher around the rim. Spross can also score in the mid-range and threads passes to his open teammates in the half court. He has the length to defend both guard spots and can also play off the ball. Spross is a talented guard prospect who should make plays with the ball in his hands throughout the winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1595764' first='Elijah' last='Williams'], 6'1 PG Hudson Catholic</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williams has the ability to play either guard spot, which will help his development throughout the course of the season. The 6'1 guard uses his handle to get to his spot on the floor and can finish through contact. Williams is more than just a slasher as he has a nice release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. He is a tough on-ball defender and moves well without the ball in his hands. Williams is a shifty guard prospect who should impact the game at both ends of the floor throughout the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1595684' first='Saad' last='Mitchell'], 6'2 SG Hudson Catholic</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mitchell can also play on the wing, which makes him an intriguing prospect to track in the class. The 6'2 guard has a quick first step, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and is unafraid of drawing contact in the paint. Mitchell is an underrated passer and sets his feet before he shoots. He pushes the pace well in transition and slides his feet on the defensive end. Mitchell is a gritty guard prospect who has the potential to breakout with his scoring and ability to defend the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2342637' first='Brad' last='Brown'], 6'0 PG Don Bosco Prep</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown has been a key part of the Ironmen backcourt over the last two seasons and should have an even bigger 2025-26 season. The 6'0 guard uses his handle to blow by his defender off the bounce and finishes in a variety of ways around the rim. Brown has a nice touch in the mid-range and wastes little release on his jumper. He is a tough on-ball defender and can also play off the ball. Brown is unafraid of taking big shots under pressure as he looks to lead the Ironmen back the the Non-Public A title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2342605' first='Trevor' last='Whitaker'], 6'4 SG Union Catholic</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Whitaker should get more touches on the offensive end, giving him the potential to breakout. The 6'4 wing plays with composure on the ball as he rarely gets rattled by on-ball pressure and uses his size to see over his defender. Whitaker has a high release on his jumper and makes opponents pay for giving him space behind the arc. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and is an underrated passer. Whitaker's versatility is something that will help raise his stock throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Prospects to Know:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Charlier Marcoullier, 6'0 CG CBA</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2304509' first='Seamus' last='Bieg'], 5'10 PG Camden Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2342648' first='Will' last='Foley'], 5'11 SG Notre Dame</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2917859' first='Alijah' last='Murphy'], 6'2 CG St. Joe's Metuchen</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2731718' first='Riley' last='Gorman'], 6'2 PG/SG Immaculata</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
