Introducing the 2025 SLAM HS Boys All-Americans.
This year’s group of high school seniors have already caught the world’s attention with their versatile and elite skillsets, but soon, college hoops fans will know their names, too.
With arguably the highest ceiling in his class, 6-9 forward Nate Ament can already do it all, with the drive to continuously fine-tune the framework of his three-level scoring. The locks on defense are there, too. Mind you, with a handle and quickness to break down defenders in transition and off the wing, he’ll be a problem for people for a lot of years.
The world has known the name AJ Dybantsa for a minute now, and that’s because the 6-9 Brockton native is really like that. With otherworldly athleticism and shot-creating skills that look like they’re straight from an NBA arena, it’s no surprise that hardly any have rivaled his vice grip on the No. 1 ranking in the class of 2025.
After completing one of the most successful high school careers in recent memory, featuring four state championships and three EYBL Peach Jam titles, Cameron Boozer is already looking to up the ante at Cameron Indoor next season. Consistency is the backbone of his game, with sneaky defensive instincts that will be sending shots into stands across the ACC next season.
You don’t have to look far for John Calipari’s next great point guard. Darius Acuff Jr. has cemented himself as one of the best scoring lead guards in the country. The EYBL Scholastic, USA Basketball and Peach Jam circuits have all witnessed the show that the future Arkansas point guard puts on, tuned to the sound of the ball constantly falling through the net.
It doesn’t get much smoother than Darryn Peterson getting buckets. The 6-6 combo guard who’s heading to Kansas this fall has quietly been improving his already elite offensive arsenal. Between registering a near triple-double in his Chipotle Nationals debut and winning co-MVP of the McDonald’s All-American Game, Peterson’s heading to the Jayhawks with dominance on his mind.
