Landon brings a fiery, electric presence to the floor every time he laces them up. With a fierce handle, crafty court vision, and explosive quickness, he attacks defenses with a relentless style that keeps opponents on their heels. He’s a lethal three-level scorer who thrives in the open floor, sprints into space, and has a knack for finishing through traffic or kicking out to open shooters with dazzling precision. Whether he’s weaving through a double team, timing a lane steal to perfection, or threading the needle on a no-look dime, Landon’s game is loud, versatile, and full of energy. Defensively, he’s disruptive and alert—picking pockets, reading passing lanes, and playing with intensity from tip to buzzer. He’s a point guard who can play every position when needed, making him one of the most exciting and multifaceted players in his class.

This past season, Landon erupted on the JV level with a scorching 24.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game. Even in limited varsity minutes, he made the most of his opportunities, averaging 3.4 points across seven games. His most significant leap came from the hours spent grinding in the offseason. Speed workouts, explosive training, and reps on the VertiMax paid off; his quickness shot up, his first step became deadly, and he started soaring for dunks. His focus now is mastering extended finishes off the glass and becoming more dangerous when shooting with a hand in his face. His work ethic is fueled by intensity and faith, giving 110% in every drill, every workout, and every possession. He’s looking ahead to a breakout varsity season where he can lead the charge beside his brother, chasing a deep playoff run they’ve dreamed about since childhood.

On the AAU circuit, Landon plays with New Level Basketball Academy’s 15U squad. They’re lighting up the Prep Hoops Circuit with stops in Dearborn, Grand Rapids, and Chicago. For Landon, AAU is about more than winning. It's about turning heads, putting his name on the map, and proving that grit and consistency open doors. He’s determined to show what a relentless motor and sharp mind can do at the national level. He wants every possession to tell his story: one of work, belief, and fearless play.

Off the court, Landon is just as active and passionate. A four-sport athlete with a 4.2 GPA, he competes in track, soccer, and baseball, all while staying grounded in faith. Everything he does is for a bigger purpose. His energy is contagious, and whether it’s on the court or in the classroom, he’s always looking to grow, lead, and uplift those around him.

The crowd fuels his fire. Landon thrives in high-pressure environments, especially when the noise gets loud and the haters start chirping. That’s when he locks in and goes harder. Adversity doesn’t rattle him, it drives him. He never quits, never fades. Instead, he leans in and plays with his whole heart. The best advice he’s ever received is “Life will throw you curveballs. Don’t let them knock you down. Get up. Move forward. Don’t let the last play affect the next.” That mindset shows in his approach to everything he touches.

I assess that Landon’s combination of size, explosiveness, and versatility makes him a rare weapon. He sees the floor like a floor general but finishes like a slasher. His rebounding from the guard spot, defensive instincts, and quick-twitch burst make him valuable on both ends of the court. He’s not just quick calculating. His eyes manipulate defenses, and his timing on cuts, passes, and steals creates constant pressure. College coaches will love his ability to run an offense, shift gears mid-possession, and make plays without forcing action.

Landon has the foundation to impact a college program early. His motor, court sense, and adaptability will allow him to plug into multiple systems and roles. Whether he’s running the break, defending the top of a press, or executing in half-court sets, his style translates. His leadership, voice, and willingness to take on responsibility will earn trust fast. He’s the kind of player who raises the energy in the room.

Expect Landon to keep evolving this upcoming season. With more varsity minutes, Landon’s impact is about to explode. His hunger to improve, paired with his loyalty to the grind, points toward high-level production and next-level exposure. With continued development in contested shooting and creative finishes, his ceiling continues to rise. His future is bright—and he’s chasing it full throttle.
