Updated 2027 Rankings: NOVA Guards (Part 3)

We at Prep Hoops VA recently updated our 2027 rankings, expanding over 150 prospects who we feel are ones to watch in the junior class. Here's a look at part three of the guard prospects from the Northern VA area in the rankings.   #104) [player_tooltip player_id='2546241' first='Micah' last='Young'] | 6'2” CG | Gainesville   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/Young-Micah.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/Young-Micah.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2962203" /></a></figure>   Young transferred to Gainesville last season and made an immediate impact for them as the 6'2” combo looks like one of the bigger upside prospects in the area moving forward. He's got a basketball build with long arms and a strong upper body to go along with big time athleticism, he can knock it down from deep at a good clip with range, he can push in transition and get downhill in the half court, and he has huge upside on the defensive end as well.   #105) [player_tooltip player_id='2552618' first='Dhruv' last='Iyer'] | 6'1” PG | Bethel Academy   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/227-Dhruv-Iyer-crop-4000x2627-1775838112.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/227-Dhruv-Iyer-crop-4000x2627-1775838112.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-3586813" /></a></figure>   Iyer transferred to Bethel Academy last season, and the 6'1” guard was a big part of their resurgence and success they had in coach Angelo Hernandez' first season at the helm. Iyer is a smart and skilled guard who makes good decisions and the right play consistently, he can play on or off the ball and make shots from multiple levels doing so, he sees the game ahead of others and has good instincts on both ends, and he simply makes winning plays for his team.   #139) [player_tooltip player_id='1987443' first='Jaden' last='Amoah'] | 5'10” PG | Colgan   Amoah was impressive his sophomore season at Colgan, and this year as their primary ball handler and playmaker he had a great season as he looks to build and show college coaches what he can do this summer. The 5'10” lead guard may not be the biggest but he's lightning quick off the bounce with the ability to blow by defenders and break the defense down, he can make plays for others on kick-outs and drop-offs, he picks his spots and scores it efficiently from all over, and he is an absolute pest on the defensive end too.   #141) [player_tooltip player_id='2815368' first='Maddox' last='Davis'] | 5'11” PG | Centreville   Davis had a fantastic junior season at Centreville, pouring in over 17 points per game after taking over for his brother Jaxson who graduated leading to him being named All Region this year. Much like his brother he has some sauce to his game as he is shifty and creative off the bounce with the ability to create space and make tough shots from all over, he can move off the ball where he shoots it at a high clip from deep and can make shots on the move, and he is relentless getting downhill where he can finish or draw contact and get to the line.   #154) [player_tooltip player_id='2898057' first='Mateo' last='Alvarado-Gallego'] | 5'11” PG | Chantilly   Alvarado-Gallego had a breakout year at Chantilly who is a team on the rise, and he has a chance to take them to the next level as a senior as he continues to develop this summer. He's a crafty scoring guard who can get in the paint and finishes well in traffic with both hands, he shoots it very well from deep and works well out of the triple threat to get to spots in the midrange for his pull-up, and he is very active defensively pressuring the ball and getting deflections and steals in help as well.   #158) [player_tooltip player_id='2371338' first='Gavin' last='Bermudez'] | 6'0” PG | Fairfax   Bermudez is an up and coming guard that had a very good season for Fairfax, and while he may still be under the radar he proved this year to be one of the better shooters in NOVA public schools. The 6'0” guard works well off the ball with the ability to read screens and great footwork to get into his shot, he has deep range and isn't afraid to step into it off the bounce when the defense is sagging, and he makes good decisions in transition with the ball in his hands too.
