Quinn is the kind of player who shifts the energy in the gym the moment he steps on the floor. A dangerous shooter with a flamethrower from beyond the arc, Quinn is far more than a perimeter sniper. He plays with a fierce motor, high-level basketball IQ, and explosive attacking instincts that make him a relentless threat at all three levels. His ability to space the floor with 41% shooting from deep forces defenders to overcommit—which opens the door for his electric drives and fearless finishes through contact. He sees the floor well, moves without the ball, and is beginning to expand his playmaking arsenal to find teammates in scoring positions. What separates Quinn is his total presence, he brings confidence, fire, and consistency whether he's raining threes, crashing the glass, or breaking defenders down off the bounce. A gritty rebounder who competes on the boards with effort and timing, he gives his team second chances and does the dirty work with the same intensity he brings to scoring. Coaches can count on a dynamic guard who plays hard every possession and leads with sharpness and poise.

This past season, Quinn averaged 20.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game while drilling 51 threes at a 41% clip. He closed the year just 16 points shy of 1,000 for his career, and he's still only a sophomore. His biggest improvement was his ability to drive and finish through physicality, adding another demotion to his already potent scoring package. This offseason, he's focused on improving his ball handling and strength, pushing to become even tougher to defend. The highlight of his season came when he shattered his school’s single-game 3-point record by dropping 9 from deep, a performance that solidified his reputation as a true marksman.

Quinn is playing with Wisconsin Playmakers P32 on the New Balance P32 Circuit this summer and is locked in on helping them win the circuit championship. One of the events he's most excited for is the tournament in Memphis, where the best of the best will clash in a high-stakes setting. As he returns to Tomah for his junior year, he's eyeing milestones like 1,000 career points and breaking the all-time school scoring record. But more than anything, he wants to lead his team and continue growing as a complete player. What fuels him is that feeling after his first made shot, when the game slows down and the confidence takes over.

When facing diversity, Quinn leans into his work ethic and keeps pushing with positivity and effort. He's coachable, resilient, and motivated by belief, in the best coaching advice he’s ever received: “All you have to do is believe.” Off the court, he enjoys unwinding with friends, heading to the lake, and enjoying time on the boat, a balance that keeps him grounded and refreshed.

I assess that Quinn’s scoring instincts, deep range, and ability to play through contact make him a serious offensive weapon. As he continues to expand his ball-handling and strength, he becomes a complete guard that can fit in almost any college system. His IQ, shooting ability, rebounding effort, and composure under pressure make him an asset for programs that value skilled, heady guards who can produce and lead.

Quinn is poised for a breakout junior year where he won’t just break records but is looking to land on scouting boards. Expect a leader who plays with an edge, shoots with confidence, and competes with heart every possession. His potential is still rising, and his impact is only getting louder. Its going to be another monster season. Stay tuned.
