Scout Report
A Tennessee combo guard has found his home early, making waves in the Class of 2027 rankings with an impressive skill set that caught the attention of multiple Division I programs.
Background
Hailing from Baxter, Tennessee, Ty Cobb has developed his game at Upperman High School while establishing himself as one of the state's rising prospects. The 6-1 guard has worked his way up the recruiting ladder through consistent play and steady improvement, earning recognition on both the high school and AAU circuits throughout his development.
Playing Style
Cobb brings versatility to the combo guard position with his 6-1 frame allowing him to play both backcourt spots effectively. His court vision and basketball IQ stand out as key strengths, showing the ability to facilitate offense while also creating his own scoring opportunities. The Tennessee native displays solid fundamentals and a developing perimeter shot that should continue to improve with college-level coaching. His size gives him an advantage when matched up against smaller point guards, while his ball-handling skills allow him to operate against bigger defenders.
Recruitment
Despite holding offers from programs like Belmont, Tennessee Tech, and UT Martin, Cobb made his commitment to Liberty early in the process. Ranked #200 nationally in the Class of 2027, he projects as a player who could develop into a key contributor at the Division I level with continued growth in his shooting consistency and defensive intensity.
