Derek Daniels has been one of the Nike EYBL circuit’s top forwards. The 6-foot-7, 230-pounder has elevated his recruitment significantly with his play for Team Durant, and his recruitment has reflected that.
Currently ranked No. 83 nationally in the 2027 class, Daniels is averaging 10 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game.
He has received new offers from Northwestern, Auburn and Oklahoma State while several other high-major programs continue to prioritize him entering the summer.
