Updated 2028 Rankings: NOVA Prospects (Part 4)

We at Prep Hoops VA recently updated our 2028 rankings, expanding to 100 prospects who we feel are ones to watch in the sophomore class. Here's a look at part four of the prospects from the Northern VA area in the rankings.   #50) Decan Conley | 6'4” SG | Potomac School   While Conley played behind a lot of upperclassmen this season, he showed flashes of brilliance and that he'll be a big part of Potomac School's future moving forward. The 6'4” wing has good positional size and length, he is an absolute sniper from deep who shoots it well over the 40% mark, he works well off the ball to get open and can set his feet quickly, and he is a good rebounder for his position as well.   #52) [player_tooltip player_id='3281119' first='Jacob' last='Jenkins'] | 6'3” SG | Evergreen Christian   Jenkins played a big role in Evergreen winning the VISAA D-III championship this season, and after another year of development and some of their top players leaving he's in a good position to have a breakout junior season. The 6'3” off guard has good positional size with a lengthy frame and good athleticism, he is great playing through contact as he can take bumps and create space and score it from multiple levels, he's an athletic finisher in transition, and he can score the ball off the catch and off the bounce efficiently too.   #54) [player_tooltip player_id='2921126' first='Khing' last='Terrell'] | 6'3” SF | St. Stephen's St. Agnes   Terrell is another player who simply played behind a lot of more experienced guys, but he's one of the more talented and versatile wings you will find for his age in the DMV. The 6'3” wing is possibly still growing as he has long limbs and continues to get more athletic every year, he can score the ball in a number of ways whether it's isolation or within the flow of the offense, he's a true three level scorer who can create his own shot, and he isn't afraid to get physical in the paint either.   #55) [player_tooltip player_id='2918935' first='Jackson' last='Wootten'] | 6'0” SG | Bishop O'Connell   Wootten is the son of legendary O'Connell coach Joe Wootten, and his not just on this team because of that, as he's shown time and time again he can impact winning in a number of ways. The 6'0” guard is a deadly shooter from deep with deep range and a quick release, he's a very good secondary ball handler who makes good decisions and doesn't turn it over, he is a good defender with great instincts on and off the ball, and he leaves it all on the floor every time he steps on it.   #56) [player_tooltip player_id='2966230' first='Devan' last='Howe'] | 6'0” PG | Gainesville   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/12/Howe-Devan.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/12/Howe-Devan.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3239105" /></a></figure>   Howe was part of one of the best backcourts in all of NOVA public schools this past year, and they will return again next year to try to build on a terrific season they had this year. The 6'0” lead guard is a true floor general who sees the game unfold before others and make great decisions to find open teammates, he controls the pace and tempo of the game, he picks his spots and scores it efficiently from all over the floor, and he just is one of those players who makes winning plays consistently.   #57) [player_tooltip player_id='2609427' first='Landon' last='Scott'] | 6'0” PG | St. Stephen's St. Agnes   Scott is another SSSAS player to watch over the next few years when he gets more opportunity, but his willingness to produce in the role he's given is very impressive in itself. The 6'0” lead guard is a rock against pressure who gets them into sets and makes good decisions to find open teammates, he can knock it down from deep and attacks well on hard closeouts, he is good in ball screens and dribble hand-offs, and he brings great energy and toughness on the defensive end too.   #61) Belmeet Sandhu | 6'1” CG | Riverside   Sandhu stepped into the perfect role as a secondary scorer for this Riverside group this season, and he didn't disappoint as he put up relatively big numbers throughout the season. The 6'1” combo is a lights out shooter with a quick release and the ability to set his feet quickly on the move, he can push the ball in transition and is a good finisher when he gets downhill, and defensively he brings a lot of toughness and moves his feet well to stay in front of ball handlers.
