Scout Report
The South Bay has produced another college-bound talent who's ready to make his mark at the Division I level.
Background
Hailing from Redondo Beach, California, SJ Madison has developed his skills at Redondo Union High School in one of the state's most competitive basketball regions. Playing in a loaded Sea Hawks lineup alongside fellow D1 commits, Madison has been part of a program that consistently produces college-level talent and competes at the highest levels of Southern California prep basketball.
Playing Style
Standing 6-5 with solid length for the small forward position, Madison brings versatility and scoring ability from multiple levels on the court. His size allows him to create mismatches against smaller defenders while possessing the agility to stay with quicker wings on the perimeter. Madison shows good court awareness and basketball IQ, making smart decisions with the ball in his hands. His ability to contribute in multiple facets of the game makes him an attractive prospect who can fill various roles depending on team needs.
Recruitment
With seven Division I offers to his name, Madison generated solid interest from programs across the western United States before committing to Nevada. The Wolf Pack landed a player ranked #122 nationally in the 2026 class, adding depth and talent to their future recruiting class. His commitment to Nevada represents a good fit for both player and program, as he'll have the opportunity to develop and contribute in the Mountain West Conference.
