Eli Wiggins is a versatile wing with a blend of size and skill to become a two-way threat. Whether operating in the post or knocking down shots from the perimeter, Eli’s ability to adapt makes him a matchup nightmare. Known for his inside-out scoring, rebounding ability, and defensive presence, Eli thrives on creating problems for opponents at both ends of the floor.


Midway through the season, Eli is averaging 9 points, 7 rebounds, and 1 block per game, numbers that underline his consistent impact as a blue-collar stud. Eli's biggest improvement this season has been in his basketball IQ, allowing him to make smarter plays and read the game at a higher level. With a focus on improving his ball-handling and midrange shooting, Eli aims to round out his offensive arsenal. Eli's ultimate goal this season is to lead his team to an Area Championship. Eli knows the key lies in uniting his team and fostering a collective effort.


At the heart of Eli’s journey is his unwavering faith and relationship with God, which he credits as the foundation of his success. For Eli, basketball is more than just a game—it’s a platform to honor God and inspire those around him. He lives by the advice, "Put God first in all you do, and you will succeed," a principle that fuels his work ethic and commitment both on and off the court. This deep-rooted faith gives him strength during challenges and keeps him grounded through triumphs, making him a true leader for his team and a role model in his community.


The 2024 summer was a statement season for Eli, as he led his team to five tournament victories. These accomplishments showed his growing basketball IQ and his determination to help his team improve. What fires Eli up on the court is the thrill of a well-timed dunk, a moment that brings energy to him and his teammates. He handles adversity by identifying problems and working hard to overcome them. Outside basketball, Eli enjoys hunting and fishing, keeping himself balanced and focused. With hard work, discipline, and consistency, Eli is ready to achieve his goals and make his mark.


I believe Eli's versatile skill set will open doors for him to reach his dreams of playing at the next level. Eli is concerned with a Division level but the opportunity to continue playing the game he loves. Guided by his faith, Eli knows God has the perfect plan and path for him, so he will trust him and do all he can to be ready when that time comes. He is one to keep a close eye on. Stay tuned.
