With the 20 or so players that made the list we know that there are 20 more that will soon be on the radar. There are some notable names with some notable family genes and some other prospects that have that coach’s son game apparent. Either way the Class of 2024 in Utah has a little bit of everything which make sit exciting to notice their talent level at such an early age. This class has a few players that will get a chance right away and some of these youngsters play on teams that are stacked and will have to wait their turn.
If you click on the rankings page on our main page you will see a list of our 2024 Watchlist as they are listed in alphabetical order.
Let’s start by listing a few of these players with notable last names. Let’s start with Copper Lewis over at Lehi High School. Cooper is the son of legendary coach Quincy Lewis which is noteworthy because Cooper plays like a kid who has been around the game for sometime. We have another coach’s son in Tiger Cuff Tiger Cuff 6'4" | CG American Fork | 2024 State UT over at American Fork who has his work cut out for him as he is playing at a loaded school that has some talent at every year. Olympus also has a huard that has another legendary coach in his own right in Jordan Barnes Jordan Barnes 6'4" | PG Olympus | 2024 State UT who has come up under his dad’s eyes. The kid has a nice game and can shoot the ball extremely well. Orem also has another kid who’s dad has some coaching experience that has a nice game in Lance Reynolds Lance Reynolds 6'1" | PG Orem | 2024 UT , but Lance’s dad coaches on the football field. Lance has already made his QB debut this year as he has been getting some notable reps for Orem as a freshman. Over at Layton High School we have KJ Miller KJ Miller 6'3" | CG Layton | 2024 State UT who is coach Kelby Miller’s son who also has some high IQ and versatility to his game.
Ace Reiser Ace Reiser 6'0" | PG Alta | 2024 State UT is the little brother of sharp shooter Justus Riser at Bingham. Ace has a nice looking game that will get him a lot of minutes on JV.
Mekhi Martin Mekhi Martin 6'2" | PG Layton | 2024 State UT is the younger brother of Jakoby Kemp (IUPUI) and Marcus Kemp (Kansas City Chiefs) so you know there is some string athletic genes in that family.
Brody Kozlowski Brody Kozlowski 6'8" | SF Corner Canyon | 2024 State #103 Nation UT is one of the best if not the best 2024 prospect as of now as he is the son of former BYU All-American Kristen Kozlowski. Brody could see some times on that loaded Corner canyon team at Varsity if he continues to show flashes a greatness.
Diego Mulford Diego Mulford 5'10" | PG American Fork | 2024 State UT will probably get the most minutes at a 6A program at Cyprus as he can really score. Don’t underestimate his desire to win and get better as the kid can score.
Dutch Dowdell Dutch Dowdell 6'6" | SG Olympus | 2024 State #310 Nation UT is the younger Dowdell brother that will now take his shot at making an impact at Olympus like his brother did just a few years ago.
The 6’7 Paul Beattie Paul Beattie 6'9" | PF Farmington | 2024 State UT out at Farmington is a player to keep an eye on. He is the future of Farmington and he looks like he will get a few more inches and his frame will fill-out as well. Paul runs the floor well and can score at all three level already. Don’t be surprised if he sees some minutes at the already loaded Farmington team.
