Gavin Shawd Gavin Shawd 6'2" | CG Tea Area | 2027 State SD is poised to have a monster season for the Tea Titans. Last year, he averaged 12 points per game, but PHD believes he’s ready to take his game to another level. Shawd is a creative scorer who can attack from all three levels — knocking down shots from deep, finishing at the rim, and operating effectively in the mid-range. His skill, craftiness, and ability to create his own shot make him a dangerous offensive weapon. If he continues to develop this season, Shawd has the potential to emerge as one of the top two-guards in Class AA and a leader for the Titans.

Gavin turned heads all spring with a spectacular showing in club basketball, consistently impressing PHD. He’s a fearsome offensive weapon—a true three-level scorer who can hurt defenses from deep, mid-range, or at the rim. Beyond his scoring ability, Shawd is a solid rebounder for his size and plays with a relentless mindset. Don’t be surprised if he leads the Titans in scoring this winter and earns All-State honors in the spring—he has the tools to make it happen.
