Jay Johnson
2024 6-3 W Jay Johnson – Warner Robins
Schools will want to check in with Jermarquis Johnson. Jay is a multidimensional wing that can play either on or off the ball. He makes things happen as a playmaker, serving as a big guard. Johnson sees the floor exceptionally well. When he attacks the rim, he’s a threat to thread the needle to an open teammate. If he finds a mismatch, Johnson will go on the block and post up. The toolsy swingman is an explosive leaper that rises up to rebound at a high level and provides versatility on defense. Johnson’s smooth game and propensity for filling up the box score will surely draw the attention of multiple college programs.

Isaiah Camon
2025 6-1 G Isaiah Camon – Lanier County
The talk of camp was the lefty from Lakeland. Camon, a First Team All-Region selection this past season, is an electric scorer from the mid-range. Isaiah assaults defenses with his pull-up jumper, loving to go left and stop on a dime when getting to his spots. He is a microwave scorer that pours in points in bunches.

Frank Jackson
2026 6-4 G Frank Jackson – Paideia
Frank Jackson is the definition of a “big guard”. The rising sophomore shrugged off defenders when getting to the rack to score through contact. Jackson loves getting downhill and can make a difference on the glass, but Frank’s three-point shot is what really helps him keep defenses off balance. He does a nice job creating separation on the perimeter and using his size to shoot over top of contests. At 6-foot-4 Jackson holds great value defensively and can hold his own when switching onto larger opponents.

Jakari Byrd
2025 6-5 F Jakari Byrd – Colquitt County
It didn’t take long for Jakari Byrd, a regular at PRO camps, to make his presence felt on Sunday. The powerful forward scored inside and out, dominating on the offensive glass and running the floor for easy buckets. Jakari had a strong baseline drive through contact and stepped outside to hit a three. The lefty is a workhorse around the basket and has started to expand his range. Stay tuned.

Quintes Yarbrough2024 6-3 W Quintes Yarbrough – Devyne Stephens
Yarbrough is a power perimeter player. He likes to use his strength to barrel his way to the bucket. His physicality helps him be an effective rebounder and a multi-positional defender.

Brent Williams
2026 6-7 PF Brent Williams – Loganville
Brent has an old school post game. He knows where his bread is buttered and that is on the block. Williams has great size and a sturdy enough frame to battle for post position and score through bumps inside. The lefty likes to get to his hook shot in the lane. Williams runs the floor in transition and will occasionally handle the ball up top. He works the baseline well on drives and can step out to the three-point line from time to time.

Brayden Holiday
2026 6-0 G Brayden Holiday – Mountain View
There was a lot to like about Brayden’s showing on Sunday. First off, he’s active. Holiday was always buzzing around the ball. He swooped in for rebounds and was effective when defending one-on-one. I was really impressed with his ability to finish. He used euro-steps to get to his floater and could squeeze through the defense for tough layups, using the perfect amount of English to kiss the ball off the backboard. Brayden also knocked down a few threes on the day. The Mountain View backcourt is in good hands.

Richard Dunston
2024 5-9 PG Richard Dunston – Meadowcreek
Dunston served as a pass-first playmaker. He had the ball on a string as he manipulated the defense and found the open man. Richard packed a punch as a scorer himself, getting to his spots in the mid-range and stretching out the defense with his three-point shot.

Tre Winters2025 6-4 W Tre Winters – Adairsville
With his size and athleticism, Winters has a tantalizing future at the next level. He was able to shoot gaps on defense and turn errant passes into breakaway slams. In the halfcourt, Tre was smooth getting to the rim for finger rolls and displayed advanced court vision with his ability to hit the open man.

2024 6-3 G Tim Smith – Central Gwinnett
Wiry and wired to score, Smith put up points from all angles on Sunday. He buried threes off the catch and off the dribble. He used a sharp crossover to plant his foot and get into the paint where he finished above the rim.

Zakariyya Dwight
2025 6-5 W Zakariyya Dwight – Crisp County
The Class 3A Most Improved Player turned heads with his high-flying play and interesting skill set. Dwight has great size as a swingman and the springs to live above the rim. Aside from his highlight dunks, Zakariyya uses his bounce when rebounding and altering shots defensively; he is capable of defending inside and out. While his dunks get the headlines, Dwight is also a solid outside shooter that can cash in corner threes. Only a rising junior, Zakariyya has a chance to climb up recruiting boards quickly.

Chasion Wilson2025 6-5 F Chasion Wilson – Lake Worth
Wilson always brings a high motor with him to camp. The Florida-native runs the floor and gets on the offensive glass for putbacks. He finishes with dunks. Chasion can help defend 3-5.

Hunter Amick
2024 6-4 W Hunter Amick – Brookwood
I would be surprised if Hunter Amick doesn’t have a breakout senior season. He has been consistently good throughout the offseason. He plays extremely hard. Hunter is a very good athlete with a quick second leap when rebounding. He’s able to attack off the dribble and finish at the basket. Amick has really grown as a playmaker. He pushes the ball well and can whip in one-handed passes on the move. His ability to clear rebounds and ignite fastbreaks keeps opponents on their heels as they must transition to defense quickly to keep pace with Amick in the open floor.

Kameron Plummer
2025 6-1 G Kameron Plummer – Houston County
It didn’t take long to identify Kameron Plummer’s money move. His sweet spot is the pull-up jumper from the mid-range. When Plummer was able to get into rhythm and attack with one or two dribbles, he was automatic. The long-armed youngster earned an offer from Voorhees after camp.

Joshua Goode2024 6-4 SG Joshua Goode – New Creation Christian
One of, if not the best three-point shooter in camp was Joshua Goode. He was lethal when left with space, especially making a home in the corners. A certified zone buster, Goode did more than just stroke it from deep. He was able to put the ball on the floor and hit tough floaters in traffic. The big guard has value at the next level with his shot making ability from the perimeter.

Cameron Stephen2025 6-3 G Cameron Stephen – Shiloh
An offseason move from Putnam County to Shiloh will likely put Cameron Stephen more in the spotlight. The rising junior is a smooth three-level scorer with an electric burst to the rim. He breaks down defenders when getting downhill and has an easy glide to the rim. Stephen’s ability to score off the dribble with his perimeter shot causes scouting problems for opponents. He can beat defenses in so many different ways. He is a stock riser.

Nayshaun Brown
2023 6-3 W Nayshaun Brown – Pebblebrook
Brown got coaches talking with his versatile game. The physically strong wing can absorb contact when getting downhill and provides a toughness on defense, able to guard multiple frontcourt positions. What stood out about Nayshaun’s game, was his soft shooting touch. He knocked down a handful of threes and was a threat to clean up misses and push the ball coast-to-coast before stopping on a dime for a pull-up. In sudden death overtime, it was Brown who hit the game-winning jumper in traffic. Nayshaun caught the eye of prep schools in attendance.

Ty Head2024 6-3 W Ty Head – Lamar County
Head opened up camp strong, really asserting himself in the first game of the day. The football quarterback is a very good athlete equipped with plenty of strength. He handles the ball well in transition and made numerous plays getting to the rim either converting through contact or tossing on-the-mark lob passes to streaking teammates. Head has the versatility to play all over the floor. He has compact three-point shot that keeps defenses honest and is physical when getting downhill. Head’s well-rounded floor game makes him an interesting prospect with another year to develop.

Thrasher Wilkins2025 6-0 G Thrasher Wilkins – Athens Christian
We all know Thrasher can shoot the ball and is a heady playmaker, but it is his defense that has really made a lasting impression over the past two weeks. Wilkins does a great job of contesting shots, timing his jumps perfectly often leading to getting a piece of the ball. He moves his feet well and is a solid rebounder that will tip caroms away to other teammates if he can’t get both hands on the ball. Wilkins also provided some flashy offense, delivering accurate no-look passes. Only a sophomore, Thrasher has a chance to continue his upward trajectory over the next two seasons. D-III schools may want to keep tabs eventually.

Jamil Aleem2024 6-3 W Jamil Aleem – New Faith Christian
The bouncy guard shot the ball very well. Jamil hit side-step threes off the dribble and was able to get to his spots in the mid-range. Aleem is a challenge to defend. He gets good lift on his jump shots, making them hard to contest. If Jamil is able to get downhill, his elevation makes him a very effective finisher. D-I schools have been in contact.

KJ Hicks2023 6-3 W KJ Hicks – Osborne
KJ Hicks is an explosive athlete. He is at his best when attacking the rim but on Sunday he showcased the ability to help stretch the floor with an improved jump shot. Hicks has the tools to develop into an impactful perimeter defender with his wingspan and athleticism.

Elijah MartinezPost Grad 6-3 G Elijah Martinez – Franklin Prep
Immediately in the first game of camp, Elijah Martinez had me scouring the roster to find his name. He brought immense energy and effort playing tight aggressive on-ball defense. The big guard was able to knock away steals and finish in transition. When he wasn’t starting the break, Martinez ran the floor hard as he filled lanes and converted at the rim.

Zaveon PhillipsPost Grad 5-9 PG Zaveon Phillips – Franklin Prep
One of the smaller guards in camp, Zaveon found his niche as a sparkplug. He caught fire as camp went on, the playmaker lighting it up from beyond the arc. When Phillips wasn’t scoring on the perimeter, he was creating for others as he controlled the flow of the game using an advanced handle. Defense ignited Phillips’ offense as he opened Game 1 as a pesky on-ball defender that got up under opponents.

David Williams2023 6-6 F David Williams – Arabia Mountain
Maybe the most intriguing unsigned senior in camp was David Williams. He’s a toolsy forward with length and mobility. He has a pretty hook shot in the middle of the lane. Defensively, he uses his reach to get to shots out of area either blocking them or at least altering them. Williams has some upside as a stretch-four, stepping out to hit a three. David’s best ball is ahead of him.

Donovan Carter2024 6-2 W Donovan Carter – Howard
Listed at 6-foot-2, Carter feels much bigger. He’s a well-built swingman that can play inside and out. He has a wide base on his jumper and will hit the one-dribble pull-up and corner three. Donovan runs the floor well. Carter mixes it up on the glass and can guard post players when needed.

Joshua Goode2024 6-3 W Joshua Goode – New Creation Christian
Goode has a knack for being around the ball. He tracked down key offensive rebounds time and time again. While his motor stood out, Joshua’s three-point shot was maybe his strongest attribute. He has good size outside and could scorch the nets when his feet were set.

Isaiah Luque2023 6-4 F Isaiah Luque – South Paulding
Zay brings energy and toughness inside. The springy forward competes on the glass and alters shots. Luque is an above-the-rim finisher that will also step outside to shoot the three. He has a chance to become an effective slasher from 15-feet and in.
