Expert Analysis
Logan Greenwell | Prep Hoops Scout
The 6’7” wing/forward from Evansville Mater Dei showed off his full offensive skill set. Inside-out threat that had his jump shot going early on. Did a good job being shot ready on the catch and took advantage of his opportunities. Love how he didn’t fall in love on the perimeter and used his length and quickness to get in the lane and score over length.

Long and athletic jumbo wing/forward that is looking to use the fall league to jumpstart an expanded role for the first time in his high school career. Known for his shooting ability, Jayden possesses a quick trigger with good elevation in his perimeter jump shot. Continuing to improve on his game off the bounce. Crafty finisher in the lane with either hand. Versatile defender with the combination of his size, length, and athleticism. Expect him to be an impactful player on both ends of the floor in the fall league.

Overton played well enough over the summer, both in AAU and with Evansville Mater Dei at the Charlie Hughes Showcase, to catch the attention of some small college programs. However, having played a limited role at Reitz as a junior, he is still an unknown to some. The 6’6″ wing has excellent size and length on the perimeter which leads to consistent matchup problems for opposing defenses. Whether he is beating bigger defenders off of the bounce or using his length to score over smaller defenders, Overton does a great job of attacking those mismatches. He is a high-upside prospect.

Versatile, long, and athletic transfer from Evansville Reitz that is looking to breakout. Inside out player that is skilled on the perimeter while also having the length to be a factor down low. Good perimeter shooter with a quick release. Versatile defender that has the length to alter shots around the basket while being switchable on the perimeter. Excited to see his production with a new team and expanded role.

Long and versatile wing/forward that impacts the game in both ends of the floor. 3 and D player that spaces the floor as a shooter with size. Has the ability to drive close outs. Also a good screen setter that rolls hard and has good hands. He’s not the quickest player, but size and length defensively makes him a disruptive and switchable defender.

This 6’6″ athletic wing has started to get some college interest from small college and JUCO programs. Overton makes the moves over to Evansville Mater Dei after cracking the rotation each of the last two seasons at Evansville Reitz. He should flourish in more of a go-to role this season.

There is a lot of young talent at Evansville Reitz right now including one of the top sophomores in the entire country. That has led to this 6’6″ wing flying a bit under-the-radar which made him the perfect attendee at The Expo. Overton has all of the athletic tools you could ask for to go along with his long, lean frame. He can fly in transition, play up above the rim, and flashed some catch-and-shoot ability from three-point range as well. Intriguing Class of 2026 prospect to keep an eye on.

The physical tools for this prospect stand out immediately when you see him on the floor. Overton is a 6’4″-6’5″ wing from Evansville Reitz High School that came onto the scene strong this summer with D1 Indiana and was impressive once again at the Prep Hoops Indiana Top 250 Expo. He showed well as a slasher and driver at the event with several great cuts that resulted in baskets in the paint. Overton was also very active on the offensive glass where he finished some putbacks.
