Scout Report

When a top-25 national recruit finds his perfect fit early in the process, it usually signals something special brewing on both sides of the equation.

Background

Hailing from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Matt Able has developed his craft at Sagemont Prep, where he's emerged as one of the premier shooting guards in the nation. Playing alongside fellow elite prospect Kevin Thomas, a 2026 forward committed to LSU, Able has thrived in a competitive prep environment that has prepared him well for the next level.

Playing Style

At 6-5, Able possesses the ideal frame for a modern shooting guard, with the length and athleticism to impact both ends of the floor. His offensive versatility allows him to score from multiple levels, whether pulling up from deep range or attacking the rim with authority. Defensively, his wingspan and lateral quickness make him a disruptive force in passing lanes and capable of guarding multiple positions. What sets him apart is his basketball IQ and ability to make winning plays in crucial moments, traits that translate well to high-level college basketball.

Recruitment

Able's commitment to NC State represents a significant coup for the Wolfpack, as they secured a top-25 national talent who fits perfectly into their system. His early commitment allowed him to focus on development rather than the recruiting circus, and his ceiling projects as a potential multi-year impact player in the ACC with professional upside.
