2023 stats: 14.2 PPG – 5.1 rebounds – 3.1 assists
Kirk is a must-watch rising guard prospect who has made some noise in Mainland’s last couple matchups with his impressive scoring output. The 6-0 sophomore riser is a shifty point guard who has found himself leading this squad after a productive season a year ago. He has the Buccaneers on a 9-3 run with a tough loss on Friday. No doubt, this kid is electric with the basketball in his hands. Can score the rock or initiate the offense with developing floor general tendencies.

On the defensive end, he is an absolute menace where he can cover the full court with his pressure while guarding on the ball.

The 6-0 sophomore guard is quick and flashy when he has the basketball in his hands where he can score at the front of the rim with his strength. He averaged 11.9 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and nearly two steals per game last season for Mainland as a freshman. Kirk has a knack for guarding mismatches as he is a pest on the defensive end and is very active in the passing lanes where he can get out in transition. Kirk currently holds an offer from Jacksonville University, but we can expect that list to grow over the next three seasons.

The 6-1 rising sophomore guard is quick and elusive when it comes to guarding on the ball. Kirk has good footwork and doesn’t get rattled when the pressure is on. On the offensive end, Kirk can score off the catch as well as off the bounce and has a smooth mid-range game. On the defensive side, he is considered to be an underrated rebounder for his size and uses every dose of his athleticism to battle for the basketball. Kirk is also very active in the passing lanes who can turn defense into offense in a hurry.
