Scout Report
The combo guard who caught Villanova's attention during his prep year at Mt. Zion is now making his mark in the Big East as a freshman Wildcat.
Background
Hailing from Lanham, Maryland, Jeffrey developed his skills in the competitive DMV basketball scene before making the move to Mt. Zion Prep for his final prep season. At Mt. Zion, he played alongside elite prospects including Zion Green (2027 PF, #32 nationally) and Jacob Canton (2027 PG, #102), gaining valuable experience against top-tier competition. His recruitment culminated with a commitment to Villanova, where he's now adjusting to the collegiate level.
Playing Style
Jeffrey brings solid size at 6-3 for the combo guard position, allowing him to play both backcourt spots effectively in Villanova's system. His versatility as a combo guard gives head coach Kyle Neptune flexibility in lineups, as Jeffrey can handle the ball when needed while also providing shooting from the perimeter. Coming from a loaded Mt. Zion squad, he's accustomed to playing alongside elite talent and understanding his role within a team structure. As a freshman, he's working to translate his prep school success to the demanding pace and physicality of Big East competition.
Recruitment
Having already enrolled at Villanova after being ranked #162 nationally in the 2025 class, Jeffrey is now focused on earning minutes in one of college basketball's premier conferences. His development during his freshman season will be crucial in determining his long-term role with the Wildcats and potential professional ceiling.
