And then there were five, two being future Wildcats. The Atlanta Tipoff Club announced its five finalists for the 2023 Jersey Mike’s Naismith High School Boys Player of the Year Trophy, with Kentucky signees DJ Wagner and Justin Edwards among those included.
Wagner looks to follow in the footsteps of his father, Dajuan Sr., who won the prestigious honor in 2001. He is joined by Edwards, a standout for Imhotep Charter (PA), along with 2023 five-star guard Isaiah Collier, 2023 five-star forward Ron Holland and 2025 five-star forward Cameron Boozer.
