Washington is a sizeable 6-foot-4 shooting guard prospect out of Davidson Day School who continues to rise in the NCISAA ranks and in the 2026 rankings in North Carolina. They came up short in the NCISAA 3A State Semifinals falling to eventual champion, Greensboro Day, but they’ll certainly be back if Washington continues to develop. He’s a strong-framed shooting presence who can attack off the bounce as a playmaker and scorer and act as an option off the catch. He’s quietly emerging as a prospect for DI and DII programs to get to know given what he can do in the halfcourt. He’s set to suit up with Team United on the EYBL stage this spring/summer.

AJ adds valuable size and outside shooting to Davidson Day’s guard rotation, key assets for their championship aspirations. He rebounds effectively for his size and is unafraid of high pressure situations. As a secondary ball handler in transition, AJ has a knack for finding ways to score, making him a versatile and important player for the team’s success

A.J. Washington A.J. Washington 6'4" | SG Fort Mill | 2026 State SC headlines my list of 2026 prospects from the Upper State. He had a nice performance in a win over Stratford Friday Afternoon, putting up 20 Points and 5 Rebounds. He had a bit of a slow start from the perimeter, but did not lose confidence and continued to shoot it. Those same shots started to fall as the game went on, and he hit his final 4 attempts from behind the arc. Washington is not overly flashy from a skill or athleticism standpoint, but he is a great scorer who can create for himself or spot up on the wings. Because of his frame and some of the Yellow Jackets personnel, AJ will often guard the other team’s big man and he held his own there in the matchup I saw this weekend.
