Expert Analysis
Clayton Conover | Prep Hoops Scout
Whitehead brings good size and strength down in the paint, capable of drawing immediate attention once catching the rock. Effective scoring around the rim through contact, they are set up for success in year two at Durango. His footwork has continued to make strides around the paint, adding counters or off-hand finishes to his arsenal. Defensively, the forward’s strength and high motor allow him to compete against multiple positions.

A high-level Class of 2027 prospect in the state of Colorado, Whitehead is headed back to Indiana to play his sophomore season at Silver Creek High school. We say back because the 6’6″ forward came up in the Silver Creek middle school system. Whitehead’s size and athleticism standout first and foremost, but he also has the skill level on the perimeter and in the front court to create consistent mismatches against opposing defenses. His return to an already young and very talented Dragons roster will make them that much more dangerous this season and into the future.

Whitehead quickly garnered recognition for his early production in the Southwestern corner of the state, Durango. Although recently transferring to the Front Range, specifically Silver Creek High School, we will quickly be getting plenty of looks at the physically imposing prospect. Already capable of facing up or converting turnaround attempts in the mid-range, he has plenty of skill to create opportunities inside the arc. Following dramatic roster turnover from various graduations at Silver Creek, Whitehead will have ample opportunities to prove himself this coming season.
