Makiya-Torco burst onto the scene with Battlefield this fall, and he’s ready right now to step into a role as one of their go-to playmakers and scorers right from the jump. The 5’11” guard is a big time athlete who can get downhill and has great hang time to finish around the rim, he can create space and knock down shots from all three levels, he brings intensity on the defensive end with his ability to pressure the ball, and he is an unselfish playmaker who makes his teammates better too.

An athletic, intelligent lead guard in the 2030 class, the freshman made a strong impression with the Bobcats during June. He has excellent command of the basketball, plays with poise and consistently makes good decisions as a floor general. His quick first step and ability to change speeds allow him to get downhill, penetrate the defense and create scoring opportunities off the dribble. He is also a capable perimeter shot maker who can knock down open looks when given space. With his combination of quickness, athleticism, basketball IQ and playmaking ability, he is an intriguing young point guard prospect to follow in the 2030 recruiting class.
