One of my favorite prospects to watch in the sophomore class. Cogan is a strong forward who plays above the rim and brings a big presence defensively as a shot blocker. He’s a hard worker with great potential and continues to show why he’s ranked among the top 10 players in his class. There’s a lot to like about his upside as he continues to develop.

Cogan already has the physical makeup of a high-level prospect. He’s long at 6-foot-5, is solidly built, and has the athleticism to match what the eye tells you. But what really impressed me with his game were his instincts across the board. Whether it was following shots in transition for tip-ins, getting his hands up defensively to deflect passes, or making timely cuts into he middle to score efficiently, he was making his presence felt all over the court. Also delivered some great passes from different spots, and showcased his versatility defensively guarding both mature post players and quick perimeter players.

Cogan may technically come in at number 6 in this latest update of the rankings, but that is absolutely not an insult he’s not “Top Five” because the truth is the Class of 2029 is so incredibly deep that the elite goes further than just “5”. The TOP run-and-jump athlete in the entire class, you could immediately count on not only high-flying transition dunks and blocks from the rising sophomore but night-in and night-out, great effort and motor as well. He already averaged 10.9 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks for Grant in 2025-26 and look for those numbers to increase even more as he continues to refine his perimeter skills this spring/summer with PortlandBoyz Elite .

It’s pretty evident that with his elite run-and-jump athleticism, Cogan is a highlight reel every time he steps on to the court. But what can’t be stated enough is how much his motor adds to the mix. In Saturday night’s tight loss to Parkrose, he was consistently making plays on the ball on both ends and as his ball skills and decision making continue to evolve, he’ll be a major headache for opponents on the floor.

With Cogan you’re always going to get the highlight reel dunks and rejections – he’s already defined himself as one of the top run and jump athletes in the state. But what we love about the Grant freshman swingman is that he’s going to make the little plays too as his motor never stops. He’s the kind of player that doesn’t need to score to make an big impact, and that’s exactly what he did on the floor with boards, blocks, steals, and hustle on defense in helping PortlandBoyz Elite capture the 16U title.

There is no question that Cogan is one of the highest flying athletes not only in the Class of 2029, but the entire state. The Grant freshman swingman threw down some serious rim-rattling jams in transition and flew around for some impressive shot rejections at the rim at the PNW Spring Classic, but also capably knocked down some jumpers as well. He’s an extremely intriguing prospect with his natural athleticism and offensive potential on the wing.

1st Team

The youngest of the Grant’s talented young guns, Cogan displayed a physical presence around the basket & was relentless in attacking the offensive glass. A huge piece of Grant’s expected state title runs the next two seasons.

To be honest, the entire Grant roster has turned a lot of heads over the past couple of weeks. Most basketball experts have them on the short list of potential state title teams in both 2027 & 2028. We easily could have featured any of their starting 5, all who turned heads with their play. For our money, the guy who had the biggest week plus, was the 6’7 freshman forward. His athleticism & activity were on display, as he easily lead the tournament in put back dunks. He finished the week with 25 rebounds, despite facing serious foul trouble in game 2. As he continues to refine his offensive skill set, the ceiling is high for Cogan & the Generals.
