They’ve already received offers and are gaining traction on the field, but these are the few players who have shown promise on the basketball court.
2026 Kendre Harrison (Leedsville)
Football Offers: East Carolina, North Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Old Dominion, Louisville, Wake Forest
Harrison is fast becoming a big name in football as a 6’7 prospect as a TE, but this is a young man who can absolutely play on the basketball court. Harrison is a very accomplished forward who has a strong, physical feel, good footwork in the paint and can give grass absolute power. keep the feel low.
2025 Bryce Baker (Walkertown)
Football Offers: Wake Forest, Louisville, James Madison, Appalachia, North Carolina
Baker is one of the guys that has featured a lot on the court on our platform, but he’s also a very strong football quarterback in Walkertown. The dual-sport prospect has played very well in both sports, but when it comes to basketball, Baker has been known for his scoring impact, his ability to make plays off the bounce, his willingness to be a passer, and his size, motor and his advantageous athleticism;
2025 Shamarius Peterkin (Mount Tabor)
Football Offers: Charlotte, Appalachia, Campbell, Coastal Carolina, Louisville, Maryland, James Madison, Duke, North Carolina
Peterkin is a player who has shown that he can be a player both on the field and on the basketball court. He already has some offers playing on the field, but on the court, Peterkin looks like a big deal, too. He shows great size, bounces in the game and is an absolutely dynamic playmaker on the court. He is smooth and fluid and can get the ball from anywhere on the court.
2023 Devin Hobbs (Robinson)
Football Commit: Tennessee
Hobbs is considered one of the top prospects in football and is considered by many to be a five-star prospect heading to Tennessee. But Hobbs has shown that he could be a prospect for D1 basketball, so I wanted to shed some light on the impact he’s had on basketball on his court as well. He’s an absolute monster in the post, using that strong frame to bully defenders, score from contact, and fill it in with the board.
2025 Jeron Blackwell (Page)
Football Offers: Louisville
The Blackwell is another dual-sport athlete that brings versatility on the field and court. His hiring has just started on the soccer field, but he’s shown he can produce on the basketball court as well. He’s smart, he’s powerful, he’s a playmaking prospect, and he does a great job downhilling and breaking through defenders. He has also shown a willingness to defend. Blackwell certainly makes his presence felt at both ends and on the football field and court.
