Brion is a dynamic, electric, and fierce competitor who attacks the floor like it owes him something. A true three-level scorer with crafty handles and a relentless motor, Brion is as dangerous creating plays for his teammates as he is finishing through contact at the rim. His ability to break down defenders and explode past them, regardless of their size, makes him a nightmare to contain. He’s the kind of versatile weapon who thrives in chaos, sees the floor two steps ahead, and always makes the right basketball decision. What separates him even more is that pass-first mindset wrapped in killer instinct. Brion can dish it, but when it's time to take over, he doesn't blink. He lights up the court every time he steps out there. His intense play style aids him in being an impact on boards and a scrappy,  relentless defender. 

Averaging 10.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2 steals per game, Brion made his presence felt on both ends. But what truly stood out this past season was his consistency as a shooter and the confidence that surged with it. His improvement in those areas flipped the switch, and now he’s locked in on fine-tuning his pull-up mid-range game and building a quicker, more explosive first step. Strength is another focus, knowing that added muscle will only make him more dangerous in traffic and on defense, where, by the way, he led his team in blocks and rebounds. That tells you all you need to know about how gritty and fearless he is, battling bigger players without hesitation. Brion is also just as driven off the court, aiming to push his 3.0 GPA to a 3.5, setting high standards in everything he touches. What fuels that drive and fires Brian up the most on the court is trash talk. When someone mouths off, Brion doesn’t just answer back; he turns it into fuel and burns the floor with it.letting his game speak loud and clear.

This AAU season, Brion is rocking with IG • The_Foundation_az, ready to elevate his game and expand his basketball IQ. His mission is to learn how to manipulate defenses to create better spacing for teammates while taking over when needed. One event he’s fired up about is the Made Hoops Tournament, where he’s planning to showcase his full arsenal. It's not just about stats this spring, though he does plan to raise his averages, but about growing into the kind of guard a college coach can build around.

Off the court, Brion enjoys the process just as much. Whether it’s watching film, connecting with friends, or putting extra time into his studies, he knows balance matters. He understands that greatness is earned when no one’s watching. Adversity doesn’t rattle him. He leans on effort, accountability, and clear communication with coaches and teammates to weather the storm. The best advice hBrain has ever received is “Be a goldfish.” Let mistakes go. Short memory. Next play. That mindset keeps him mentally sharp, resilient, and always moving forward.

I assess that Brion is an explosive guard with a fearless approach to the game and an elite ability to read plays on the fly. His defensive instincts combined with his court vision, crafty scoring, and relentless effort give him the tools to make a major impact. He’s not just trying to score, he’s trying to outthink, outhustle, and outfight every player on the floor.

At the next level, Brion’s versatility as a playmaker, tenacity on defense, and team-first mentality could fit perfectly into a college system that values tough, vocal leaders. His willingness to do the dirty work, lead by example, and embrace coaching shows he’s coachable and wired to improve. He has the intangibles that college programs crave.-

Brion’s potential is climbing by the week. As he continues to build strength, increase explosiveness, and refine his mid-range, expect him to become even more difficult to guard and even more valuable as a lead guard. His rising stock is fueled by fire, fight, and a deep love for the grind and wherever he lands, he’s going to make noise., His name is to be remembered as Brian is just scratching the surface of a sky-high ceiling. Stay tuned.
