Aaron is a fearless, aggressive shooting guard who brings power, skill, and swagger to every game. At 6’4” with strong ball-handling and the size to dominate, Aaron thrives on attacking the rim with unshakable confidence. His craftiness and strength allow him to finish through contact, and when he slices through the lane, his mid-range jumper is nearly automatic. Aaron doesn’t just get buckets—he dominates the boards and drops dimes with flair. Defensively, he’s a relentless force, always ready to lock down his opponent and make a statement.
Aaron knows his game inside and out. While his 3-point shot is a work in progress, he’s smart enough to lean into his strengths. He knows when to take a pull-up jumper or attack the basket instead of settling for a three. He’s confident in his shot but fearless when it comes to playing the percentages.
Last season, Aaron showed his grit and hustle, averaging 14.23 points, 8.58 rebounds, 3.62 assists, and 1.04 blocks in 26 games. That hard work earned him First Team All-District and Second Team All-Region honors. Aaron added 12 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists per game in AAU play. But this year, he’s taken his game to the next level. Aaron is averaging an eye-popping 25.0 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game in just six games—a testament to his tireless work ethic and growing confidence.
Aaron’s biggest accomplishment isn’t just his stats; it’s his transformation. Last season, he played it safe, relying on put-backs and second-chance points. Now, he’s hunting his spots, sinking the shots he’s practiced for hours on end. That growth has turned him into a true leader for his team.
When it comes to rivalries, Aaron doesn’t back down. Whether it’s John Battle or Virginia High, he thrives on the high-energy battles that come with facing his team’s biggest opponents. He knows his team has what it takes to make a deep playoff run if they play for each other and commit to improving as a unit. Aaron embraces his role as a leader, lifting up his younger teammates and helping them find their confidence.
Before every game, Aaron takes a moment to reflect on his journey. He thinks back to his freshman and sophomore years when he lacked confidence and drive and uses those memories to fuel his fire. When adversity hits, Aaron stays calm, lets the game come to him, and keeps pushing. The best advice he’s ever received—“Let the game come to you”—is something he lives by every time he steps on the court.
Off the court, Aaron enjoys studying, spending time outdoors, biking, exercising, and perfecting his game. To reach his next-level goals, he’s doubling down on building strength, improving his shooting, and fine-tuning his all-around game. Aaron knows he has what it takes to be a strong fit for a D2 or D3 program, but he’s chasing a D1 dream and putting in the work to make it happen.
Aaron has drawn interest from schools like UVA-Wise, Emory & Henry (Coach Andrew Sharpe has attended two of his games), Tusculum, and Barry University. Aaron is a name to watch with his relentless drive and ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor.
Aaron’s potential is sky-high. As he keeps improving at this pace, his ceiling is unlimited. His size, strength, and fearless mindset make him a leader on the court, while his passion and determination could open doors to even bigger opportunities. The early buzz around him isn’t just talk—this is a player with next-level ability who’s just starting. Stay tuned.
