Santana is a crafty left-handed guard with elite instincts and a smooth offensive rhythm that puts pressure on defenders every trip down the floor. His game is fueled by feel, knowing when to blow past his man and when to hit the open shooter in the corner. His jumper keeps defenders honest, and his handle carves up space, forcing tough decisions for the defense. What separates Santana is his calm, smart decision-making off the drive and his ability to pick a defense apart with both scoring and playmaking. He’s shifty, poised, and always looking to create something, whether it’s for himself or his teammates. Coaches can expect a tough-minded floor general with a fearless motor and an unshakable love for the game.

Averaging 10 points, 7.5 assists, and 3 rebounds, Santana's biggest improvement came in elevating the guys around him, getting them in rhythm, and delivering easy looks. He’s embraced the role of playmaker, but he’s far from one-dimensional. This offseason, he's locked in on making his running floater and right-side attacks feel natural while turning his jumper into a true weapon from deep. The realization that his team was just a few possessions away from a state appearance lit a fire in him, every possession now carries weight, and every rep is about getting closer to perfection. Playing with Kentucky Ambition 2026, he’s chasing exposure, growth, and that first offer. But his focus is bigger than just himself; he and his teammates have already set the goal of playing on the last possible day next season. Santana’s passion for the game burns brightest when he's battling elite competition, seeing exactly where he stands and what it’ll take to rise higher. Through adversity, he just keeps hooping.

I assess that Santana brings high-level decision-making, court vision, and an infectious energy that elevates everyone around him. His blend of skill and IQ makes him a dangerous lead guard for any program, and his growing confidence as a shooter only adds more layers to his offensive impact.

As he improves his right-hand game and strengthens his scoring arsenal, Santana is poised to explode in his upperclassman years. Expect a gritty, selfless competitor with the tools to run an offense and the hunger to lead his squad deep into the postseason spotlight. Stay tuned.
