Top Rebounders
Davion Wilson – 6-3 Forward – Judson (2021)
- During his junior year, Wilson brought down 168 rebounds including 56 on the offensive end of the court. Averaging 8 rebounds per game, Wilson was a beast in the post and used his elite athleticism to bring down boards.
Grant Jacobs – 6-4 Forward – New Braunfels (2021)
- Jacobs was a technician down low for the Unicorns last season bringing down 6.4 rebounds per game (229 total). His 74 offensive rebounds made him the clear cut leader for the district in offensive boards, as he created a plethora of second-chance opportunities for New Braunfels.
