Bryce is a punishing post presence with raw power, soft touch, and a rebounding motor that never quits. He brings unmatched physicality and grit to the floor, dominating the paint on both ends. He’s a rebounding machine, a low post enforcer, and a go-to scorer with the strength to finish through anything. But Bryce isn’t just a bruiser, his IQ shines in the way he moves without the ball, finds open teammates, and leads with effort. His touch around the rim is smooth, and his ability to flip momentum with second-chance points or clutch putbacks is game-changing. When the paint gets crowded, Bryce owns it.
This season, Bryce averaged 18 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 3 assists per game, shooting an efficient 63% from the field and piling up 420 total points. His biggest improvement was his touch around the basket and his vision as a passer, both making him even more dangerous. Now, Bryce is locked in on developing his outside game and tightening his handle to become a more complete offensive weapon. He plays AAU ball with Hill City Crash 15U and is gearing up for a major showing at the Myrtle Beach live period, where the level of competition is set to fuel his fire. His goals this summer are crystal clear: get his name out there and earn attention from college coaches.
What fires Bryce up isn’t just a big bucket but the defense that leads to it. He thrives in physical, intense games, and his energy spikes when a stop leads to a shot. He’s a fierce competitor who knows the value of composure, constantly pushing himself while keeping his head in the moment. One of his proudest moments came when he hit the game-winner to send his team to the regional and state championship for the first time in eight years. With his focus locked on a return to the title game, Bryce is hungrier than ever.
Off the court, he’s just as driven, competing in football, track, and even sneaking in rounds of golf or fishing trips with friends. But when it’s game time, there’s no mistaking his identity: a hard-nosed, blue-collar warrior who will do whatever it takes to win.
I assess that Bryce’s power, presence, and productivity in the paint make him an instant impact player for programs needing interior toughness. He controls the glass, finishes through contact, and leads with heart, which will translate well at the next level.
As he expands his range and tightens his handle, Bryce’s ceiling rises. His motor, leadership, and inside dominance already set him apart, and with continued development, expect him to evolve into a versatile big who can carry a team deep into postseason runs. Stay tuned!
