The teams are yet to be divided into two. However, he will play alongside other top prospects, including Kansas Jayhawks signee Darryn Peterson, Arkansas Razorbacks signees Darius Acuff and Meleek Thomas and South Carolina signee Eli Ellis, among others.

The No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2025 (as per On3's Industry Rankings) and BYU signee, AJ Dybantsa, were also scheduled to play; however, he will miss the tournament because the date clashes with his college enrollment.
