Cayden Daughtry may have solidified himself as the hottest prospect in the class of 2027 following a remarkable run at the 2026 Nike EYBL Peach Jam.
The 6-foot, 155-pound 5-star point guard led the Florida Rebels to the Peach Jam championship, putting together one of the most dominant stretches of the summer. Over his final eight games, Daughtry averaged an incredible 32.3 points, 6.1 ******* ists, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.9 steals per game while shooting 59 percent from the field, 49 percent from three-point range, and 91 percent from the free-throw line.
He capped off the championship run with another sensational performance, finishing with 33 points, nine rebounds, six ******* ists, one block, and just one turnover in the ******* le game.
Following his dominant summer, Daughtry now ranks No. 3 overall nationally and the No. 2 point guard, according to the 247 Sports rankings.
247 Sports Director of Scouting Adam Finkelstein has been especially high on Daughtry, calling him “the most skilled player in high school basketball.” Finkelstein praised Daughtry’s elite ball-handling, deep shooting range, advanced finishing package, pick-and-roll decision-making, low turnover rate, and willingness to move without the basketball despite being a high-volume creator.
