Jaren Curtis Jaren Curtis 6'1" | PG Bishop McNamara | 2025 State MD | New World/Bishop McNamara (MD)
Curtis cut his teeth at the high school level the summer before his freshman year at DMV Live. He made a strong first impression as a strong all-around guard and carried that momentum with him throughout his debut season. Curtis is currently tracking among the top lead guards in his class locally. Expect his recruitment to reflect that in the future.
Derek Dixon Derek Dixon 6'4" | SG Gonzaga | 2025 State #153 Nation MD | Team Durant /Gonzaga (DC)
Dixon showed promise as a knockdown shooter for Coach Turner during his frosh campaign at Gonzaga. More recently, he’s demonstrated playmaking abilities off the bounce that are intriguing. Dixon appears poised to take the next step this summer and beyond.
Jeff Exinor Jeff Exinor 6'4" | SF McDonogh | 2025 State #272 Nation MD | Team Thrill/McDonogh (MD)
Exinor looks the part and backs it up with his play. He reinforced his credentials as our #2 overall ranked prospect with a strong and efficient display at Pitt Jam Fest.
Tyler Jackson Tyler Jackson 6'2" | CG St. Frances | 2025 #40 Nation MD | Team Thrill/St. Frances (MD)
Jackson has alpha-dog traits that most coaches look for. He can guard the best player on the floor, but also commands the full attention of the opposing defense because of how dynamic he is as a scorer and playmaker.
Nykolas Lewis Nykolas Lewis 6'2" | PG Gonzaga | 2025 State #146 Nation MD | Team Takeover/Gonzaga (DC)
Lewis was one of Gonzaga’s better players this past season and is earning significant minutes with 16u Team Takeover. He is a no-brainer for coaches looking to recruit the local 2025 class.
Jordan McConnell Jordan McConnell 6'10" | C Phillips Exeter Academy | 2025 State VA | Team Loaded VA/Woodberry Forest (VA)
McConnell, who stands 6-foot-10, should be considered one of the better frontcourt options when looking at the local recruiting landscape. He gets to learn from a great basketball mind in Coach Dawson at Woodberry Forest, and should only continue to improve over time.
Jalen Rougier-Roane Jalen Rougier-Roane 6'5" | CG Sidwell Friends | 2025 State #142 Nation MD | Team Durant /Sidwell Friends (DC)
Rougier-Roane was an impact freshman at Sidwell this year. He earned a spot in Coach Singletary’s tight rotation and more than held his own. He was a difference-maker on both ends throughout the year and is standing out this spring with his grassroots club as well.
Jacob Ross Jacob Ross 6'5" | SF Long Island Lutheran | 2025 State #134 Nation NY | Team Melo/Saint James (MD)
Ross was named MVP of his high school team as a freshman. That speaks volumes. He has what it takes to play both ends of the floor at a high level. Don’t overthink this one.
Cameron Ward Cameron Ward 6'6" | SF Largo | 2025 State #30 Nation MD | Team Durant /Largo (MD)
Ward is making us look smart for ranking him as our top prospect in Maryland. He’s led his team to a bevy of wins this spring, including a championship in Pittsburgh while producing on multiple fronts. The likes of Georgetown and Maryland would be smart to establish a relationship with him early because it won’t be long before word gets out on a national scale.
Austin Williford Austin Williford 6'4" | CG Saint Anne’s Belfield | 2025 State #137 Nation VA | St. Anne’s Belfield (VA)
Williford was one of our favorite finds from the early part of the high school season. He has defensive potential that is off the charts and a budding skill base that will continue to grow. There is a lot to like about what Williford can bring to the table for a college program down the road.
