This article aims to highlight 5 young men from the local 2022 class who could do that. #8 | Tyrell WardTyrellWard6'6" | SFDeMatha | 2022State#98NationMD | DeMatha It’s uncommon to talk about a top-10 guy as a breakout candidate, but Ward is just scratching the surface. He’s shown signs here and there that he can be a difference-maker on both ends, which means expectations will be high.

At 6-foot-7, he has the potential to guard virtually every position on the floor. When things completely click for Angwafo, he could become one of the most sought after recruits in the area.  #40 | Travis RobertsTravisRoberts6'4" | SFBishop Walsh | 2022StateMD | Bishop Walsh Roberts is a premium bucket-getter with size and athleticism to boot. Bishop Walsh will need him to score consistently but also hold his own defensively against stiff competition.
