Auburn and Georgia wasted no time offering Leonard before he ever stepped on a varsity floor, and it’s easy to see why. Austin flashes legitimate next-big-thing upside in a frame that already checks high-major boxes. He’s a fluid perimeter athlete with excellent size, moving effortlessly into scoring windows and playing with a smooth, controlled pace. Leonard is a true shot-maker—burying threes, using advanced footwork off the bounce, and spinning off defenders to access his floater in traffic. Defensively, he brings added value as a rim protector from the wing, using timing and length to block shots. In what’s shaping up to be a loaded 2029 class, Leonard is separating himself early and looks every bit like a potential headliner.

Read EvaluationJaelin Stovall | Prep Hoops Scout
Austin consistently attacks the heart of the defense, playing through contact and comfortably getting to his floater. Physically, he is well beyond his age, standing 6’4” with a strong, wide frame. His feel for the game is top-notch, particularly in the 12–16 foot range, where he shows excellent touch and the ability to finish over defenders.
