Expert Analysis
Hector Marquez | Prep Hoops Scout
If I had to rank all of these players, I would pay to watch 1st Young might take that spota nd then you get to watch the loaded Lone Peak squad as well. The best way to describe what you will see when you see Young play is that someone could maintain high energy the entire game and not crash; that is what Young brings. He will break you down in the open floor, and he will pull up from anywhere. He has a little bit of “White Chocolate” to his game and he is going to have an explosive senior season.

Young is an absolute steal at the D2 level, but at the same time, he will play in a program where he can take over and do what he is doing in high school right now. Young has gotten stronger, and he has also made a big leap in his shot-making ability at all three levels. He is not afraid to challenge taller players as he uses his creativity and craftiness to get to the rim. He powers through contact, and he is FAST! Young was tough at the Great Western Classic. Lone Peak is one of the favorites to run the table in 6A, and Young is a big reason why.

Young might be the most electric PG out of the bunch as he plays with a lot of confidence, and he sure knows how to score the ball. Young has elite range, and in the pick-and-roll, you never know what he is thinking or what he might do. That level of freedom that he plays with makes him one of the best and one of the hardest PGs to guard.

Young is ranked No. 6 in Utah’s 2027 class and had a strong summer, picking up multiple D1 offers. He is a high-level competitor who brings consistent effort and toughness every time he steps on the floor. Young is a complete offensive player who can shoot it from deep, create for others and make plays with the ball in his hands. His ability to knock down shots from range makes him difficult to guard, and his developing downhill game has added another layer to his offensive package. Young brings the type of effort and playmaking you want from a player on your team, and he should be a key piece for a talented Lone Peak group this season.

One of the best things about watching Young play is that you have no idea what he is going to do or how he is going to do it, but you know he is going to make something happen. Young brings a style of play that is best suited to let him create. That means when he is playing free, he is going to make some big-time shots, and he is going to make some big-time plays for his teammates as well.
Young is a player who will not disappoint, and Lone Peak might be among the most fun teams to watch this coming season.

Young is in a unique category when it comes to high school players. Young has that takeover ability. He can get in the paint and score, and he can go wild from beyond the arc. Lone Peak had a great showing this summer, and Young has been a big reason why.
