Dylan Betts
#10Uncommitted
Scout Report
Standing at 7-foot-3, this towering presence is already making waves at one of the nation's premier basketball academies despite being just a sophomore.
Background
Hailing from Bradenton, Florida, Dylan Betts made the move to IMG Academy to develop his skills at the highest level of prep basketball. At IMG, he's surrounded by elite talent and competing against top-tier competition daily. The young center is part of a loaded roster that includes fellow 2028 standout Bamba Touray and committed prospects like Arkansas-bound Darius Acuff Jr. and Syracuse commit Sadiq White Jr.
Playing Style
Betts brings rare size and length to the center position, using his 7-3 frame to alter shots and control the paint on both ends of the floor. His combination of height and mobility gives him the potential to be a dominant rim protector while also providing a significant presence in the post. At his age and with his physical tools, he's still developing his offensive skill set but shows flashes of soft touch around the basket. The key to his development will be adding strength and refining his footwork to maximize his natural advantages.
Recruitment
With seven Division I offers already in hand from programs like Cal, Purdue, Washington, UNLV, and Colorado, Betts is generating serious high-major interest despite being early in his high school career. Ranked 10th nationally in the class of 2028, he projects as a program-changing big man who could anchor a defense at the next level. His recruitment is expected to heat up significantly as he continues developing at IMG Academy.
