Lincoln is a gritty, blue-collar gem who thrives on hustle, heart, and high-IQ play. He’s the kind of player that makes every possession count, whether it’s diving for a loose ball, boxing out for a rebound, locking down on defense, or making the smart extra pass. His impact isn’t about flash or highlight reels but it about doing the things that win games. Lincoln plays with unmatched effort and relentless intensity, never taking a play off. He’s dependable, unselfish, and constantly engaged, willing to do whatever it takes to help his team win. And while he’s not locked in on scoring, he can quietly put points on the board within the natural rhythm of the offense, never forcing shots or changing his team-first approach.

Defense, rebounding, hustle plays, and energy are his calling cards. He’s blessed to be a two-time team captain as an underclassman, proof of the respect he earns from coaches and teammates alike. While he didn’t track stats this past season, Lincoln’s biggest improvement has come in developing confidence as a three-level scoring threat. He’s focused this offseason on improving his handles, creating more scoring opportunities, and elevating his basketball IQ. Whether he’s competing for 7070 Athletics in Colorado or representing OGP Premier 3SSB Gold in California, Lincoln brings the same fierce mentality to every court he steps on. He’s looking forward to July’s live events and pursuing a league championship in the upcoming high school season. His fire is fueled by getting defensive stops, and when facing adversity, he resets with mental toughness and a “next play” mentality. Off the court, Lincoln enjoys spending time with friends, watching movies, hanging out at the lake, and enjoying moments with family.

I assess that Lincoln’s value to a college program is in his consistency, leadership, and work ethic. He’s the type of player who instantly raises the energy and accountability of a team. Coaches can trust him to guard, rebound, move without the ball, and make momentum-shifting plays that don’t always show up in a box score but matter deeply in winning basketball. His selfless mindset and drive to win make him a glue guy every championship roster needs.

Moving forward, Lincoln’s ceiling rises as his confidence as a scorer and creator continues to evolve. He’s already proven he can impact a game without scoring, and now he’s expanding that role with the tools to contribute more offensively. Expect a tough, reliable, high-motor player with leadership qualities and a hunger to improve. His relentless engine and commitment to doing things the right way will carry him far. Stay tuned.
