Brice is a towering, high-motor forward with a smooth jumper and a hunger to take over the game. He’s a powerful presence who doesn’t just play big but plays with force. He can stretch the floor, put it on the deck, and swat shots out of the air like it’s second nature. His strength and feel around the rim, paired with his length and timing, make him a defensive dream eraser and rebounding machine. Brice doesn’t back down from anything, he thrives on energy, especially when the trash talk starts. That fire ignites his game and fuels every block, bucket, and hard-earned board. With a growing handles, improving athleticism, and a sniper’s touch, he’s becoming a complete forward who can play inside-out and create mismatches all over the court.

As a freshman, Brice averaged 11.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game, numbers that reflect both his consistency and impact. His defense was the biggest improvement this past season, and even though he knows there’s room to grow, the strides he’s made are pushing him closer to becoming elite. This offseason, he’s attacking ball-handling and athletic development with the same determination that’s been burning since an early playoff exit, a loss that still stings and drives every workout. Playing with Upward Stars 3SSB 15U, Brice is locked in on winning a 3SSB championship and earning those first college offers. He’s especially excited for the title chase in July and embracing the leadership role that comes with every game and challenge ahead.

When facing adversity, Brice resets his mindset and finds a way forward, he learns, adjusts, and comes back better. He lives by the advice from his father: “However you do the little things is how the big results will end.” That defines him as disciplined, locked in, and built for more. Off the court, Brice stays grounded through church, lifting with friends, and unwinding to music, but once he steps on the floor, he’s all business. He’s a driven young star on a mission, and the best is still coming.

I assess that Brice’s combination of size, shot-blocking ability, and emerging versatility makes him a nightmare matchup for any opposing lineup. He has the tools to anchor a defense, stretch the floor offensively, and grow into a multi-level threat at the next level. His energy, mindset, and willingness to lead set him apart as someone college programs should be tracking closely.

Brice is just scratching the surface. With two full high school seasons ahead and a strong summer on the 3SSB circuit, expect a major surge in both production and recognition. As he continues developing his handles and athleticism, he’s on a path toward becoming one of the most dynamic forwards in the 2028 class. Stay tuned for a breakout season ahead with your popcorn ready. Brice is ready becoming must-see TV.
