The leading scorer for GA throughout the year, Brenner was held mostly in check throughout the game but showed his ability during a big third quarter. Looking notably stronger than when we saw him last, he scored 10 of his 14 points in that third frame, using his size and burgeoning strength to work near the rim and get himself going. He was effective dribbling into postups against smaller defenders while also staying active as a cutter and crasher. Known as a shooter, Brenner struggled to find a groove but did flash his touch on a smooth wing 3. His size and ability to thrive in structure should have him on the radar of high-academic programs across levels over the course of the spring and summer.

The newcomer of the year in the league, Brenner made an instant splash for the new-look Patriots after coming in as a repeat junior from Unionville (PA). Averaging over 17 points per game overall and 16.1 in league play, he continued to thrive as a perimeter shotmaker but also showed added wrinkles in his game as the Patriots’ consistent focal point. Brenner was effective putting pressure on the rim as a cutter and rebounder, showing added athleticism as a finisher. He also showed flashes as a playmaker when put in situations to attack advantages off the bounce. Brenner should be on high-academic radars across levels and figures to be the key building block for coach John Cox heading into Year Two with sights on a First Team All-League type season.

During his junior campaign at Unionville, Brenner averaged 18 points and 8 rebounds per game. Last weekend at Sessions I of Philly HS Live, Brenner posted two double-doubles including a remarkable 25 points and 12 rebounds effort. Brenner is one of the to stretch-4 prospects in the region. The trifecta of his size, accurate jump shot and rim to rim speed presents serious match-up issues for opponents.

Brenner makes his mark as a high-volume shooter from deep with the size, high release, and court sense to consistently generate space for clean looks within the offense. He shows a blend of skill and IQ while putting it on the ground attacking closeouts with a clear passing feel established from the well-oiled Unionville offensive system. He’s certainly on track for a scholarship with his size and translatable skillset, but whether he’s a true driller or more of a volume shooter, along with his ability to hold up in space defensively, are the key points coaches at the D1 level will be looking at over the course of the next several weeks.

However, the upcoming season will be the first time this three-year starter has been the No. 1 option for Unionville. Good news, this stretch-4 prospect has the skills to handle that promotion. He proved that back in June at Philly HS Live with a 38-point explosion against Boys Latin (MD). Brenner owns a highly accurate jump shot with deep range.
