Landon hits the court like a problem you can’t solve. With length, bounce, and a pure shooting touch, he forces defenders into impossible choices. Give him space, and that smooth rainmaker from deep splashes before you can react. Crowd him and his fierce off-the-dribble speed blows right past you with a wicked first step that sends him downhill in a flash. Once he gets inside that lane, the crafty moves, long reach, and tough finishes take over. Add in his rebounding, passing feel, and steady defensive effort, and he turns into the total package who affects every part of the game.

His freshman season showed everyone exactly what he’s about. Averaging 17 points and leading his team to 3rd place in the district and in states, he proved he could carry a heavy load early in his career. Strength has been his biggest improvement since the n, and it’s showing loud and clear. This season, he came out blazing, pushing his team to a 2-0 start and a tip-off tournament championship. In Game 1, he exploded for 42 points. In Game 2, he delivered a monster performance with 35 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists on his way to earning tournament MVP honors. He’s focusing on playing off two feet, evolving defensively, and building on that above-the-rim athletic pop.

Last season also meant something deeper, getting the chance to play beside his brother, who is the school’s all-time leading scorer with 1800 points. That experience only added fuel. Now he’s fired up for battles with Boiling Springs and Shippensburg and ready to lead the same core into next year with no seniors leaving. Coaches can count on full energy, a player who gets teammates open, someone who can create his own shots, and a leader who refuses to take a possession off. Trash talk only turns him up even more. When facing adversity, he buries his head in the work and pushes through it. The best advice he’s ever gotten is, "Keep leading". And when he’s not hooping, he enjoys downtime with family and friends, staying grounded and enjoying life. His future goal is to find the right D1 fit.

I assess that Landon brings a combination of scoring, size, playmaking, toughness, and energy that gives a college program a guard who can impact the game right away. His shooting stretches the floor, his attacking ability forces help, and his mindset lifts teammates around him. He adds value on both ends and brings a spark that coaches can build around.

Landon’s rise is just getting started. With his hunger, early dominance, and nonstop work ethic, he’s on track to become one of the most dangerous young guards in Pennsylvania. As he keeps growing stronger, sharper around the rim, and more confident as a leader, his long-term potential shoots even higher. He’s a name that you will want to remember. Stay tuned.
