About Jaylen
Expert Analysis
Coy Shoemaker | Prep Hoops Scout
Jaylen was one of the most athletic players I watched all weekend at Flyght Academy, and he made sure to use that athleticism to impact the game. Against Ryze Athletics, he seemed to come up with every 50/50 ball. Defensively, he was a lockdown on-ball defender who made it extremely difficult for Ryze to get into their offense comfortably. Jaylen is an uber-athletic do-it-all guard with a very high ceiling and the ability to affect winning in multiple ways.

Gent is the grandson of Kentucky legend Jack “Goose” Givens. He has good tools and has a high feel for the game. It remains to be seen if Jaylen gets the size that his grandpa had but he has already been playing AAU at a high level with the Team Goose program that has been really good this spring. Gent is a player to keep tabs on as he could play a lot at Sayre, starting this summer.

Gent utilizes his athleticism to impact the game on both ends. He drives to the basket and can finish around though contact. He also sets up teammates for scoring opportunities. He collected multiple steals that resulted in fast break points.
