Scouting Report
JJ Andrews is a 5-star Small Forward from Little Rock, AR (Little Rock Christian Academy) in the 2026 class. Ranked No. 16 nationally. Composite rating: 0.9941. Committed to University of Arkansas.
Physical Profile
Listed at 6-6, 220 lbs. Taller than 42% and heavier than 100% of 2026 Small Forward prospects in the SEC Scouts database (12 with a listed size).
Play Style
Basketball wing who scores from all three levels, with most of his damage done attacking the paint and in the mid-range. He also rebounds, blocks shots and makes plays for others. Does not apply to football.
Strengths
- Efficient three-level scorer: he was the most efficient scorer in Nike EYBL Session I at 1.31 points per possession (19.7 points on 15 possessions), and he averaged 28.5 points a game as a junior.
- Productive all around: 28.5 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.0 blocks a game in 2024-25, and more than 2,000 career points by the end of his junior year.
- Won at a high level: two state titles in high school, two Peach Jam titles, and EYBL MVP honors in 2025.
Areas to Improve
- Outside shooting consistency: he made 31.3% of his threes on the summer circuit, below what a high-level college wing needs to be.
- Scoring against size: his efficiency inside the arc (65.8% field goals on the EYBL circuit) came partly from being bigger than most players he faced, and that edge shrinks against SEC wings.
College Projection
He enrolled at Arkansas for the 2026-27 season and is expected to compete for early minutes on the wing in Calipari's system. He has no football role.
Best Fit
Arkansas men's basketball, where he has already signed. He is not a football prospect. Recommended fix: remove this athlete from the football recruit data (or tag the record as men's basketball), and check the recruit importer for other basketball prospects leaking into football.
Player Comparison
Both prospects share an elite 6'6" frame with exceptional length and athleticism at around 220 pounds, suggesting potential as pass rushers who can add weight while maintaining mobility. Garrett was similarly ranked as a top-30 overall prospect with elite recruiting pedigree, demonstrating the rare combination of size, speed, and technique that translates to dominant edge rushing at the next level.
