Jett is a fierce, high-motor playmaker who thrives on attacking from every angle, he never stops moving and never stops creating. Whether he's slicing through defenders, elevating for a punishing middy pull-ups, or dropping dimes off the bounce, Jett brings a fire that fuels everyone around him. He defends with energy, rebounds with purpose, and plays with a swagger that's all about confidence, not ego. With unlimited range that stretches defenses and a lightning-quick release, he’s deadly even a few feet behind the arc. And he’s not done evolving, extending that range, adding more vertical hops, and increasing his in-traffic finishing, which are all part of his offseason grind. He’s already elite but still hungry.

This past season, Jett didn’t just put up numbers, he made history. He averaged 26.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 4.2 steals per game while leading Okarche to a flawless 32-0 record and a second straight state championship, the first back-to-back titles for the boys’ program in school history. And he didn’t just play in the big moments, he owned them. For the second year in a row, Jett was named State Tournament MVP. He also crossed the 1,500-point mark this season and is now closing in fast on 2,000. His midrange pull-up, once a weakness in his arsenal, is now one of his deadliest weapons, and being able to score at all three levels has made him nearly unguardable.

This summer, Jett will play with Team Oklahoma on the NXTPRO Puma Circuit, setting his sights on elite competition and using every opportunity to elevate his game against the best. He’s especially locked in on the Live Period event in Wichita, Kansas, from May 16–18, where college coaches will be in the stands, and the stakes will be sky-high. Jett’s mission is to win games, grow stronger, and get ready for what’s next.

Looking ahead to his senior year, he has the Tournament of Champions circled in bold. It’s Oklahoma’s most prestigious event, featuring the top eight teams regardless of class, and Jett plans to make noise on that stage, too. His energy is contagious, whether he’s hyping up a teammate, igniting a run with a steal, or exploding after an and-one, he’s the emotional anchor of any roster he’s on.

When facing adversity Jett doesn’t let it shake him, it challenges him. He leans on preparation, trusts in his teammates, and clamps down on defense to shift momentum. The best coaching advice he’s ever received is, "Play fearless". That is tattooed on every game he plays. Confidence in his work, faith in his preparation, and belief in his role have shaped him into a powerful, fearless competitor. Guided by his family, mentors, and coaches, Jett knows he’s blessed, and he plays like it every time he steps on the floor.

I assess that Jett’s blend of explosiveness, leadership, and elite scoring touch make him one of the most complete guards in the country. He elevates every game, every teammate, and every possession. His impact on a perfect season is proof that he’s not just a scorerbut a program-changer.

With back-to-back MVPs, an undefeated state title run, and a versatile skill set that keeps expanding, Jett is on track for something special. He’s a high-level guard with college-ready tools and the mindset to match. Expect big things from him this summer and an even bigger senior year. Get your popcorn ready for one last magical run and pursuit of an unheard-of 3-peat state championship. Jett is the definition of must-see TV. Stay tuned y'all.
