The 3,000+Point career scorer continued to show why college coaches have been reaching out at a higher rate as of late. He’s quick and crafty, understands how to get his shot off regardless of how he is being defended.

The current leading scorer in the state resides in the East and he was just named all tournament at the Terry Walls Holiday Invitational after averaging 28 points 3 rebounds and 8 assists during the event.

He’s lightning quick with the ball in his hands and a threat to score once he crosses the half court line, he’s improved as a passer and works hard on the defensive end, a college guy to track going forward.

One the quickest guards end to end that you will see, this young man can flat out put the ball in the bucket. Currently at #3 spot, averaging over 31 PPG, he has shown that he can score the ball in a variety of ways, regardless of how he’s being defended. For his career has already passed 2,000 career points and put on a show scoring 50 Points early on this season.

His FCA squad came into this matchup at a height disadvantage and depth disadvantage, but once the game began, none of those things mattered. Using his quickness and scoring ability, he caused defenders to pick up fouls and scored the ball at a very high level, finishing the game with a team high of 41 Points.

Despite having an off-shooting day, he still found a way to fill up the scoring column of the stat sheet with a game high of 31 points. He got into the paint to draw fouls at a high rate, which included the game winning free throws.

He went for 50 Points in the win, scoring the ball in all types of ways and handling different types of pressure without issue.

There can’t be a POY list without this young man as he just wrapped up a record-breaking season in his junior year. He’s one of the top Point Guards in the state and is the type of player that you love to have on your squad. He’s not a player that’s going to say much verbally but his game truly speaks volumes. A gifted scorer that has impressive end to end speed, he’s grabbed a few colleges offers prior to his senior season.

Averaging close to 30 Points a night as a Junior and finishing in the Top 100 nationally in Points Per Game and Three Point Shots made, we can only imagine what type of production we will see from him his senior year. His end-to-end speed, outstanding shooting range, impressive ballhandling and poise on the court that is beyond his years are all traits that you love to see from a PG.

One of the more underrated scoring guards in the state of North Carolina, but his production shows itself. He’s fresh off a season which saw him knock down 113 3-pointers in his junior season for an 18-12 Freedom Christian Academy squad. He’s arguably one of the top shooters in the 2026 class in North Carolina and produced 27.8 points, 6.5 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 2.9 steals per game in 2024-25. He’s got the ability to score at-will no matter who’s in front of him. Don’t let his size deter you, cause what he lacks in height, he makes up for with his ability to make things happen as an impact floor general. DII programs in need of a scoring point guard would be wise to target him on their recruit board.
