Scouting Report
Joe Sterling is a 4-star prospect from Studio City, CA (Harvard Westlake) in the 2026 class. Ranked No. 96 nationally. Composite rating: 0.9604. Committed to University of Texas.
Physical Profile
Listed at 6-4, 180 lbs.
Play Style
Not applicable for football. In basketball he is a volume catch-and-shoot and off-the-dribble perimeter scorer.
Strengths
- (Basketball, for context only) Elite perimeter shooter: 44% from three on 8+ attempts per game on the 2025 Pro16 circuit with Team CPSA, averaging 21 pts / 3 reb / 3 ast
- (Basketball) Led Team CPSA to the PUMA league championship. Consensus four-star, ranked around #100-104 nationally, #26 SG, #10 in California
- (Basketball) Second commit in Sean Miller's first Texas class, alongside Bo Ogden, another basketball recruit who was also wrongly placed in this football pool
Areas to Improve
- DATA FIX: Remove this record from the football Recruits table, or re-tag it as men's basketball
- DATA FIX: Check the import for other Position=Unknown / 0-offer / high-composite records. Several Texas and SEC basketball signees (Bo Ogden, Austin Goosby, Tarris Bouie, Kevin Thomas, Gage Mayfield, Willie Burnett III) show the same cross-sport contamination
College Projection
Not applicable for football. He signed with Texas men's basketball for the 2026-27 season and does not play college football.
Best Fit
