#34 | Thomas Youngkin Thomas Youngkin 6'4" | SF St. Christopher's | 2023 State VA | St. Christopher’s
Youngkin burst onto the scene last season for Georgetown Prep. He is a blue-collar wing who does a bit of everything well. Word has it that he has transferred to St. Christopher’s. Expect Youngkin to be one of the more impactful newcomers in the 804 next season.
#45 | Paul Anderson Paul Anderson 6'3" | SG South County | 2023 State VA | South County
Anderson has first-team all-region written all over him. He is a lockdown defender who has improved offensively. Look for Anderson to guard the opposing team’s best perimeter player and put the ball in the hole with regularity.
#63 | Bryson Wilson Bryson Wilson 6'5" | SF St Stephen’s And St Agnes | 2023 State VA | SSSAS
Wilson will feature on a new-look Saints team and figures to be an important factor in their success. He is a top-tier athlete with dynamic playmaking ability.
#68 | Jamison Lynam Jamison Lynam 5'9" | PG South County | 2023 State VA | South County
Lynam was one of our favorite finds from the past season. He is quick like a cat and can put the ball in the hole at a high clip. Look for Lynam to be one of the Stallions’ go-to-guys throughout his senior campaign.
#78 | Sam Whitehead Sam Whitehead 6'3" | SG Stone Bridge | 2023 State VA | Stone Bridge
Whitehead gets buckets with relative ease. He is well-conditioned and proficient at scoring from all three levels. Don’t be surprised to see him near the top of the local scoring leaderboard in the winter.
#82 | DJ Kennard DJ Kennard 6'3" | SF Falls Church | 2023 State VA | Falls Church
Kennard is set to take a step forward after popping on our radar as a junior. He is a versatile perimeter player who has strong defensive potential. Kennard is a safe bet to improve from his status as an all-district second-teamer.
#90 | Cole Cosby Cole Cosby 6'4" | SF St. Stephen's And St. Agnes | 2023 State VA | SSSAS
Cosby produces when given opportunities. He makes shots and all types of hustle plays that help his team win games. Cosby projects as a consistent difference-maker for the Saints.
#91 | Amir Crawford Amir Crawford 6'2" | CG Woodberry Forest | 2023 State VA | Woodberry Forest
Crawford has established a reputation as one of the better perimeter defenders in the state. He takes away air space on the ball with relative ease and guards a couple of different positions. Crawford’s emergence has been a key element to his team’s success.
