After Transferring to Huntington Prep, No. 3 Ranked Rising Senior Darryn Peterson Is Proving Why He's The Smoothest Scor
There are a few hardwood memories that are engraved into the psyche of Darryn Peterson. Stephen Curry’s illustrious 54-point Master Class in Madison Square Garden, check. LeBron James’ chase-down block on Andre Iguodala is in there for sure. Kobe Bryant’s last game against the Jazz is automatic. But it was watching Kyrie Irving’s infamous step-back in the 2016 NBA Finals while on a cruise with his family that had the now 17-year-old phenom saying, “I’ve gotta get there.”
Darryn Peterson’s game is a lot more polished than you’re typical top-ranked high schooler. The No. 3 player in the Class of 2025 is a pure three-level scorer. Go check in with the adidas 3SSB, the dudes out at the NBPA Top 100 Camp and his teammates at Huntington Prep. They’ll tell you what’s good.
With offers from North Carolina, Kentucky, Kansas and Baylor–just to name a few of the heavy hitters–there’s a reason that Peterson is widely regarded as one of the most heralded recruits in his class.
But before he won Gold with Team USA at the 2023 FIBA U16 Americas Championship and was dropping buckets in front of James Harden out in Italy this past June, Darryn Peterson’s connection to the game was fostered in the backyard of his home in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.
