Kansas signee Darryn Peterson, who was previously ranked No. 2 in the 247Sports Class of 2025 rankings, has now claimed the top spot as the No. 1 prospect in the class. He overtook BYU signee AJ Dybantsa.
On Wednesday, 247Sports announced the updated rankings on their official Instagram page, awarding Peterson a 100% scout grade. The post also featured a few highlight clips that showcased Peterson in action on the court.
Trending
As expected, the post has sparked a number of reactions from fans. Some speculated that Peterson’s jump to No. 1 was influenced by his commitment to Kansas, especially since Dybantsa chose a lower-profile program like BYU.
“All because he went to kansas😂.” One fan said.
“Bahaha. All b/c AJ signed with BYU. You can hype KU up all they want but Self can’t coach in the NIL market.” Another fan said.
“BYU signed the number one that’s why they can’t put him lol 😂.” Said another.
Some fans simply maintained their stance of AJ being a better player than Darryn Peterson:
“AJ better💯.” One fan said.
“AJ clears him.” Said another.
Some fans, however, agree with the updated rankings, with some even saying the update was long overdue:
“This is long overdue but DP had to prove it to the world and he did.” One fan said.
“Should have been #1 the whole time.” Said another.
AJ Dybantsa had occupied the No. 1 spot since he reclassified from the 2026 class. With the updated ranking, he now sits at No. 2 behind Peterson, with five-star Duke signee Cameron Boozer still occupying third place.
