Nevaeh Willingham Nevaeh Willingham 6'3" | SG Newberry | 2029 State SC rounds out this list of stock-rising 2029s in the October Rankings Update. He too continues to grow physical and impressed in camp settings this fall. Nevaeh’s wingspan is something that sets him apart from some of the other swings in the class. I didn’t get to see much of Nevaeh in his freshman year at Newberry, so he’s one of the 2029 prospects I have with a must-watch designation heading into the 2026-27.

Next up on the list is Willingham, who sent in some highlights from the recent Prep Hoops The Expo: Carolinas. Nevaeh had an impressive outing that day, showing good signs as a long wing with his balance of efficient shooting and rangy slashing. As he continues to fill out his frame to be a more dominant finisher and defender, there is definitely room for Willingham to propel up the rankings.

South Carolina’s 2029 class was well-represented on Sunday, and guys like Willingham outlined the depth that the class has. Although I haven’t gotten to see him play often, I always come away impressed with Nevaeh and his game. His long and wiry frame is intriguing if he can fill it out, but it’s already proving to be a key attribute as a two-way wing who positively affects the game defensively and can knock down shots offensively.

Nevaeh Willingham Nevaeh Willingham 6'3" | SG Newberry | 2029 State SC rounds of this list of Six 2029s Primed for a Sophomore Leap. He is another one who fits the mold of a solid foundation along with a projected role increase, so he looks ready to produce for Newberry this winter. Nevaeh has an exciting combination of length and shooting ability, so if he gets the opportunity, he could prove himself as one of the top perimeter threats in South Carolina’s 2029 Class.

Running with Long on Twelve Time’s regional team is Willingham. He is a scoring-minded guard who can efficiently knock down jumpers off the catch or effectively put pressure on the defense off the bounce. Despite dropping down a couple of spots, Nevaeh still projects as a player to know over the next few years.

Nevaeh is one with a bright future at Newberry High School. He has a solid scoring package with a comfort hitting mid-range jumpers and floaters off the dribble, but if he can continue to improve his three-point shot, he will become one of the best Shooting Guards in his class.
