<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DeKalb County traditionally produces college prospect for all levels. With a strong mix of high-upside prospects, proven producers, and emerging names, the area is filled with players who have had very strong senior seasons. Here's a closer look at the top 2026 performers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1696170"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69a288dd8126a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The future Tennessee Volunteer averaged over 23 points per game for the Saints, consistently asserting himself as one of the area's most productive offensive weapons. The 6-foot-7 wing has made noticeable strides as a perimeter shooter, evolving into a true three-level scorer who can stretch the floor, attack closeouts, and finish above the rim. His combination of size, length, and fluid athleticism allows him to create mismatches and impact the game in multiple ways. With his continued development and defensive versatility, Green projects as a high-upside prospect whose game should translate effectively to the next level on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2046360"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69a288dd81304"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br>Harris earned Region Player of the Year honors after averaging nearly 25 points per game for the Golden Lions, establishing himself as one of the most dynamic scorers in the area. The long, athletic wing thrives attacking the rim, where his burst and body control allow him to finish through traffic and above defenders. He has shown steady improvement as a perimeter shot maker, adding another layer to his offensive arsenal. Defensively, his length and high-level athleticism give him the versatility to guard multiple positions and impact the game on that end of the floor as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2471152"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69a288dd8136e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Walsh is a skilled combo forward with the versatility to impact the game at multiple positions, though he primarily operates on the wing. The unsigned senior is a reliable open-shot maker, he spaces the floor effectively and forces defenders to respect his perimeter touch. He has the strength and functional athleticism to finish around the rim and compete on the glass, even if his lateral foot speed is average. With a solid feel for the game and a willingness to move the ball, Walsh is a capable passer who understands how to play within the flow of an offense and contribute in a variety of ways.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2377740"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69a288dd813d5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A First Team All-Region selection, Jacobs established himself as a college prospect in the 2026 class. The high-scoring wing combines elite athleticism with the ability to create his own shot off the bounce, consistently putting pressure on defenders in isolation and in transition. He attacks with confidence, finishes above the rim, and has the burst to turn small windows into scoring opportunities. With his natural scoring instincts and playmaking upside, Jacobs is a dynamic prospect who can change the tempo of a game in a hurry.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Jimmy Mattox IV","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Miller Grove","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69a288dd814af"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A First Team All-Region selection, he established himself as one of the most efficient perimeter scorers in the area, knocking down 43% of his shots from beyond the arc. A confident shot maker with range, he spaces the floor effectively and can also create separation off the dribble to generate his own offense. Despite operating primarily on the perimeter, he rebounds his position well and competes on the glass. His activity and anticipation on the defensive end further enhance his value, making him a well-rounded two-way contributor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
