Bryson Howard is a 6‑foot‑5 left‑handed wing from Heritage High School in Frisco, Texas, a five‑star prospect and top‑20 player in the 2026 class who has committed to Duke. The son of former NBA All‑Star Josh Howard, he brings plus length (around a 6‑foot‑11 wingspan), a strong frame, and a shooter’s pedigree, emerging as one of the biggest risers in his class after a standout EYBL season with Pro Skills where he averaged roughly 19–20 points and 6 rebounds while hitting about 46% from three on high volume.
​

Offensively, Howard is a high‑level perimeter scorer with clean mechanics, a high release, and deep range, able to score in catch‑and‑shoot, off‑movement, and pull‑up situations, while also flashing straight‑line driving ability and lob‑threat finishing when attacking closeouts. Defensively, his length, engagement, and mobility give him real two‑way upside as a multi‑position wing who can cover ground, contest shots, and generate steals, though further development of his right hand, decision‑making in attack mode, and physicality on the glass will be important to fully maximizing his long‑term impact at the high‑major and eventual pro level
