Scout Report
A 6-5 wing with elite size for his position and a national ranking that puts him among the country's most coveted prospects in his class.
Background
Hailing from Somerset, New Jersey, Will Brunson has made his mark at Rutgers Preparatory School where he's developed into one of the premier wing prospects in the nation. The New Jersey native has garnered significant attention from high-major programs across the country, establishing himself as a must-watch talent in the Garden State's deep basketball pipeline.
Playing Style
Brunson possesses the ideal frame for a modern small forward at 6-5, combining length with the athleticism to impact multiple areas of the game. His versatility as a wing allows him to create matchup problems on the offensive end while using his size advantage to defend multiple positions. The Somerset native shows strong court awareness and basketball IQ, making smart decisions with the ball in his hands. His ability to stretch the floor and attack the rim makes him a valuable two-way threat that college coaches covet in today's positionless basketball landscape.
Recruitment
With nine Division I offers already in hand, including high-major programs like Auburn, Syracuse, Notre Dame, and NC State, Brunson's recruitment continues to heat up. His #32 national ranking in the class of 2028 reflects his status as an elite prospect with significant upside remaining. The New Jersey product projects as a program-changing talent who could make an immediate impact at the college level.
