Rising Star Amir Jacobs: Unranked to Top Prospect | Sports Stars of Tomorrow

Amir Jenkins was unranked. Then he won a gold medal with USA Basketball at the FIBA 3x3 U18 World Cup. Then he led North High School to a 24-0 record and a state championship as a sophomore. Now he's ranked 99th in the 2026 class by 247Sports.

Jenkins transferred to Worcester Academy in Massachusetts for tougher competition and greater visibility. The climb from anonymous to ranked happened fast—maintaining that trajectory requires facing elite opponents daily.
