Mississippi State
Scout Report
A rangy shooting guard who made the leap from prep standout to SEC contributor, bringing size and versatility to the college level.
Background
The Dallas native developed his craft at Faith Family Academy of Oak Cliff, one of Texas's premier basketball programs known for producing college talent. Grace played alongside elite prospects including Xavier Young and Josiah Rose, competing at the highest levels of prep basketball. His journey through the competitive Dallas AAU circuit helped shape him into a well-rounded player before committing to Mississippi State.
Playing Style
At 6-5, Grace possesses the ideal size for a modern shooting guard, able to play multiple positions and create matchup problems for opposing defenses. His length allows him to shoot over smaller defenders while also providing versatility on the defensive end, where he can guard both backcourt positions effectively. Grace's basketball IQ and court vision stand out, making him capable of initiating offense when needed. His ability to space the floor and contribute without needing the ball in his hands makes him a valuable role player at the SEC level.
Recruitment
Now a college player at Mississippi State, Grace has transitioned from being ranked #57 nationally in the 2025 high school class to carving out his role in the competitive SEC. His development will be crucial for the Bulldogs' backcourt depth and future success. The combination of size, skill, and basketball intelligence suggests he has the potential to become a significant contributor as he adjusts to the college game.
