Class of 2025 standout and top guard in the country to play his senior season on the Grind Session
Darryn Peterson, the consensus No. 3 prospect in the class of 2025 and top high school guard in the country, is heading to the Grind Session to finish his prep career.
It was announced Monday via social media that the 6-foot-5, five-star recruit is transferring to play his senior season for Prolific Prep.
“Darryn is a tantalizing prospect for both college coaches and NBA scouts who will no doubt elevate the play and talent pool on our circuit,” said Grind Session CEO Scott Waldrop. “We’re excited to welcome him to the family and watch him finish his high school career the right way!”
Peterson, 17, emerged as one of the most heralded recruits in the 2025 recruiting class after scoring more than 1,000 points during his first two seasons of high school basketball at Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy in Canton, Ohio. He averaged 31 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.8 steals and 1.3 assists as a sophomore and was a finalist for the Ohio Mr. Basketball Award before transferring to Huntington Prep in West Virginia for his junior season.
Peterson has also starred on the international stage. He represented the United States at the 2023 FIBA Under-16 Americas Championship in Mexico. He averaged 16.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 3.3 steals in under 18 minutes per game, leading his team to a gold medal and earning all-tournament honors.
According to SLAM magazine’s Jared Ebanks, Peterson is the smoothest shooter in the class of 2025 and plays the game with an effortless finesse. “One dribble pull-ups in the midrange, bottoms. Tomahawks in transition are paired with the smoothest of size-ups. Hop steps through the lane, post fades and sidestep treys; no matter where he stands, the ball always seems to find the net,” Ebanks wrote in an article last month.
In April, Peterson completely reopened his recruitment. Though he has yet to commit to a college basketball program, he has narrowed his choices down to eight schools: Arizona State, Louisville, Kansas, Kansas State, Kentucky, Ohio State, USC and Washington.
