Brackins is a player to watch this weekend because of the nonstop energy and pressure. He plays with a ton of juice, quick feet, and the ability to make things happen in bursts. Brackins is aggressive attacking the hoop and thrives as a slasher, using his speed and explosiveness to put constant pressure on defenders. In transition, AJ is especially dangerous with how fast he gets up the floor and attacks before defenses can get set. Defensively, he’s pesky, disruptive, and simply annoying to deal with, making opponents uncomfortable with his activity and effort. His combination of speed, toughness, and energy gives him the ability to impact games on both ends and makes him a fun player to watch at Stomping Grounds.

Had an impressive season on varsity and proved that he belongs on the court in AA. Brackins is a player to watch; he hoops with a ton of energy. AJ is a fiery and athletic lead guard with an outstanding ability to get to the rim. He is a playmaker for his teammates and locks up on defense.

Anthony Brackins Anthony Brackins 5'10" West Fargo | 2026 ND brought a spark to the NLBA squad with his impressive athleticism and relentless energy. The West Fargo guard is a quick, scrappy competitor who never backs down from contact and embraces the physical side of the game.

He paired well with Sean Le’Shoure Sean Le’Shoure 5'9" | SG Grand Forks Red River | 2026 State ND , providing intensity and tempo on both ends. With his athletic tools and fearless mindset, Brackins is a player with upside.
