Syracuse
Scout Report
The spotlight has followed this 6-5 shooting guard from Long Island Lutheran straight to the Carrier Dome, where basketball legacy meets present-day opportunity.
Background
Hailing from Glen Head, New York, Anthony made his mark at Long Island Lutheran, one of the premier basketball programs in the Northeast. During his high school career, he competed alongside an exceptional supporting cast including future North Carolina guard Dylan Mingo and Penn State-bound Kayden Mingo. His journey through the competitive New York prep scene and AAU circuits provided him with exposure to top-level competition before making the transition to college basketball.
Playing Style
Anthony brings a polished offensive skill set that translates well to the college level, with the size and length to play multiple positions in Syracuse's system. His shooting guard frame allows him to create matchup problems against smaller defenders while possessing the ball-handling ability to operate in transition and half-court sets. The combination of basketball IQ and versatility makes him a natural fit for the Orange's style of play. His experience competing alongside elite high school talent has prepared him well for the step up in competition at the ACC level.
Recruitment
Having already enrolled at Syracuse, Anthony chose the Orange over other quality programs including USC, Rutgers, Arizona State, and Ohio State. As a former top-30 recruit in the 2025 high school class, he enters college with high expectations and the potential to develop into a key contributor for the Orange program.
