This Converse University commit made the Class AAA All-State Team. He is one of six in-state Valkyries in this cycle, but he is one who has a high upside because of his frame and athleticism. Jeter is very effective when he has solid Point Guard play around him, as the Bulldogs did, but he will always be a strong shot blocker and rebounder.

AJ had a strong showing for the Bulldogs in their win over West Florence early Saturday Morning. He put up 14 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 blocks in the game, making an impact on both ends of the floor with his size and athleticism. Jeter is one of the more bouncy big men in the state, and he can impact shots at the rim and on the perimeter that most can’t. AJ also ran the floor well, had a couple of offensive putbacks, and finished strong with his right hand.

Jeter has a nice frame and doesn’t play football for the Bulldogs. Jeter likes to play his game in the short corner on each side of the bucket. AJ can play in the pick-roll game and finish around the bucket.

Jeter will play on contact and at times could be a bit of TWEENER from the 4/3 spot on the floor. He made the move up from #87 to #65 this time around.

A forward prospect with a nice blend of grittiness and athleticism, Jeter is a prospect with a bright future in the 2026 class in South Carolina. He did well showcasing his ability to operate as a pick-and-roll/pop threat with a nice shooting stroke and strong ability to finish in the painted area. He did well to showcase an ability to operate inside and out while working with other top guards across the state. He’s one to watch at Newberry High in 2024-25 given his energy on both ends.

Jeter is one of my favorite underrated big men in the state and I am excited to see how he performs in Rock Hill. AJ has settled into his frame quite well over the past year and should be one of the more physically dominant players in 3A this year. He works hard on the glass, protects the rim, and even has a good jump shot from 15 feet and in.

Jeter was quite impressive here today with his play for the Future Kings 2026. AJ surprisingly doesn’t play football at Newberry has a good frame to make some noise down n the paint. He was able to go out to the short corner and drop a few jumpers. AJ has seemed to grow a bit in the past year it seems. Jeter was able to use his frame while knocking around defenders down low.

AJ Jeter AJ Jeter 6'7" | PF Newberry | 2026 State SC has had some physical growth over the last year. He is now closer to 6’7″ and had a solid performance playing in the post for Newberry in a matchup with Crestwood. He had some good moments on the offensive end scoring with his back to the basket but is also comfortable shooting from 15 feet. On the defensive end, his strong frame was useful to help bang with an opposing big man, keeping him uncomfortable. Jeter also had two blocks, showing he can make up ground in rotation and protect the rim. AJ was switched onto guards a couple of times and moved his feet well on the perimeter in that situation. He finished with 13 Points and 6 Rebounds in the game.
