Logan plays basketball with a calm confidence that refuses to let defenders dictate his speed, and that controlled approach has become a major weapon in his offensive arsenal. He plays at his own pace, reads what's in front of him, and combines a high basketball IQ with the ability to score from all three levels. His calling card is a lethal three-point shot that can punish a defense in a hurry, but Logan understands that becoming dangerous off the bounce makes that jumper even harder to handle. When defenders have to respect his ability to drive and finish, he can create the separation he needs to rain in threes and turn a small opening into points.


Last season gave Logan a strong glimpse of what he could be while playing as a sophomore and serving as the third or fourth scoring option. He averaged 10 points per game and made 62 three-pointers, finishing only one shy of tying his school record. One shot, however, had far more meaning than another number on his season total because Logan hit a game-winning buzzer-beating three in a win-or-go-home battle that sent his team into the playoffs. That cold-blooded moment showed his confidence when everything was riding on one possession, while earning Second Team All-District honors added another achievement to a season filled with growth. His team's postseason eventually ended against Mansfield Summit, which went on to win the state championship, but the experience gave Logan another taste of the level he wants to reach.


His work has continued to draw attention beyond his school, with Prep Hoops ranking him as the No. 10 combo guard in Texas and No. 61 overall, The Countdown Report placing him No. 32 in Texas, and GASO naming him among its Top 150 for the Class of 2028. Logan appreciates seeing the hours behind his development receive recognition, but those rankings have only added more fuel to what he wants to accomplish. His ultimate goal is to play college basketball and help a program win, which means every ranking becomes another reason to push himself instead of becoming satisfied with what he has already earned.


That hunger has been easy to see during Fall League, where Logan opened Week 2 averaging 19.5 points through two games despite playing only half of each game under the normal five-minute rotations. He had 39 total points, went a perfect 4-4 from the free-throw line and mixed tough finishes with deep shooting and strong defense. Logan credits confidence and aggression for helping everything click because he's learned how valuable his ability to attack off the bounce can be. Once he gets downhill and forces defenders to respect the drive, his lethal jumper becomes even more dangerous because they can no longer sit on the three-point line waiting for him to fire.


One of Logan’s biggest improvements since last season has been his athleticism, and that growth came from a commitment to the weight room. He wanted to become stronger and more athletic during the offseason, giving his scoring arsenal another layer instead of relying only on his shooting touch. Added strength can help him finish tougher drives, absorb physical defense, and maintain control when defenders try to disrupt his rhythm. Adding that growth to his natural shooting ability has given Logan more ways to create offense while still playing with the pace that makes him comfortable.


Logan’s basketball journey has also taught him how to handle change after a new coach took over at the beginning of his first varsity season. Rather than letting unfamiliar circumstances to become an excuse, he learned that proving himself involved more than what happened when the ball reached his hands. His mentality, willingness to be a good teammate, and approach to competition became equally important, teaching him that his value could show through more than points and made shots. That lesson has stayed with him as his role and expectations have continued growing.


The work behind Logan’s rise happens every day in several different settings, whether he is training alone at school, lifting in the gym, or expanding his skills during workouts with his trainer. He also makes his grades a priority, understanding that his work away from basketball matters as much as everything he does on the court. That daily commitment has helped a guard entering the upcoming season with much bigger goals and greater belief in what he can accomplish.


Logan's goal is to average 20 points per game and lead his team back into the playoffs, but just returning isn't enough because he wants a deeper postseason run than the one his team made last year. His faith and trust in God is at the heart of what fuels him, while his desire to prove he's an elite shooter keeps feeding his competitive drive. Logan wants a chance to play college basketball, help a program win, and show that his shooting is only one part of a growing three-level attack.


I assess that Logan brings a dynamic scoring arsenal powered by deadly perimeter shooting, smooth pace, and the confidence to deliver when the moment becomes huge. As a sophomore, he already showed how dangerous his jumper can become, while his growing ability to attack off the bounce forces defenders to respect more than the shot they know is coming. Logan has already shown he can trust his shot with a season hanging in the balance.


The added athleticism and strength Logan built during the offseason could unlock an entirely different layer within his offensive game. His patience allows him to read defenders without being rushed; his IQ helps him choose his spots, and his daily training continues strengthening the weapons surrounding his elite shooting. With faith driving him, bigger postseason goals in front of him, and a desire to prove himself at the college level, Logan enters this season ready to turn his controlled fire into an even more dangerous scoring force. Stay tuned.
