Leading off the Stock Risers in this update of the Prep Hoops South Carolina Class of 2027 Rankings is Beau Brannon Beau Brannon 6'7" | SF Wren | 2027 State SC . Brannon is an exciting wing prospect in the Palmetto State, combining positional size, athleticism, playmaking, and shooting to make an impact every time he steps on the floor. Beau showed great strides with his offensive game this season, so if he continues that into AAU play, he could see his recruitment soar.

Beau Brannon Beau Brannon 6'7" | SF Wren | 2027 State SC led the way for Wren in their huge win over Laurens on Tuesday. He had a game-high 25 points, but what was most impressive was his combination of variety and efficiency. Brannon scored at all three levels through contact and some solid defense. He is comfortable playing off the catch on the perimeter, where he can shoot or attack with two to three dribbles, but with his size, he can also work inside with post-ups or as the middle man versus a zone. Beau went 3-5 from deep in this one, but when you combine the shooting with all the other impactful things that he does, it is easy to see why he is such a good player.

A floor-stretching threat who excels in the pick-and-pop, he’s a catch-and-shoot specialist who punishes undisciplined closeouts and late contests. A smart player on both ends, he consistently makes winning plays and isn’t afraid to battle for rebounds in the paint.

Beau is another prospect who I evaluated for the first time during this series last year. He has shown good signs in his development during the High School and Grassroots Seasons and continues to stand as one of the top wings in the 2027 Class. He excels in and checks all the boxes of things you want from a prospect of his size and age. On the offensive end, Beau is a knockdown perimeter shooter and has the skill to create off the dribble. On the defensive end, he is a great rim protector and can be used 3-5. Two areas of improvement for Brannon’s game would be the consistency of his offensive motor and finishing strength, but if he masters those he could become a can’t-miss prospect.
