Quincy is the definition of a floor general with a built-in flame thrower. He facilitates the game with elite IQ, unselfish play, and relentless energy, constantly moving without the ball, making the smart read, and elevating those around him. But what separates Quincy from every other guard in his class is how he blends silky smooth touch with fierce offensive intensity. He’s a lethal catch-and-shoot sniper who rains fire from deep, punishes defenders with a cold-blooded middy, and brings an unstoppable motor to every possession. Whether it’s a clutch moment or a defensive stand, Quincy thrives under pressure and refuses to settle for average. He leads, he hustles, and he impacts every inch of the court.

Despite missing the early part of this past season due to a dislocated ankle suffered during football, Quincy’s comeback was unforgettable. He dropped 28 points in his first game back and led his team to victory, instantly reminding everyone of his value. He went on to average 19 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals per game while shooting 46% from the field. His biggest focus this offseason is transforming into a true lockdown defender and becoming more efficient as a scorer around the basket. After months of physical therapy and mental discipline, Quincy is hungrier than ever, bringing that same energy into his AAU season with UTC Fire 17U National. He's fired up for big-time tournaments like the Prep Hoops Wisconsin State Tournament and the National Championship in Indianapolis this July.

Next high school season, Quincy will lead a talented, veteran squad under a new coach who's injected fresh vision and energy into the program. With his leadership and fire, he’s focused on guiding his team to a strong playoff run and a shot at the Marawood South Conference title. While most players light up when their own numbers shine, Quincy’s fuel comes from seeing his teammates thrive. He feeds off team runs, ball movement, and chemistry, as his passion for the game goes beyond stats.

When facing adversity, Quincy adjusts, digs in, and finds new ways to make an impact, whether it’s diving for loose balls, locking up on defense, or setting the tone with effort and grit. The best coaching advice he’s ever received is, "Be obsessed with the journey, not the results." That has molded him into the reliable, unselfish, and purpose-driven player he is today. Off the court, his character shines just as brightly. With a 3.7 GPA, a steady presence in the weight room, and involvement in football and track, Quincy stays balanced. He also enjoys disc golf, learning from the NBA and NFL, and, most importantly, valuing time with family and friends.

I assess that Quincy is a dynamic leader with elite shooting ability and off-the-charts basketball IQ. His ability to space the floor, make plays, and bring a relentless work ethic makes him a perfect fit for a college program in need of a disciplined, high-motor guard who elevates everyone around him.

Expect Quincy to keep evolving. His fire, growth mindset, and complete skill set make him a serious weapon moving forward. With his continued development on the defensive end and growing strength inside the arc, he has the tools to develop into one of the most complete two-way guards in the 2026 class. Stay tuned.
