Phenom Hoops is going back in time this year and reviewing a lot more film of players around the region. We recently went back to watch Carlisle in action, a team that has some intriguing talent to watch out for, but the discussion always starts with 2026 Trey Beamer, who I believe doesn’t get the recognition he deserves.
Watching this young man operate is something special. You can read what Jeff Bendel wrote about him not long ago below, but when reviewing the film more, Beamer just has a knack for producing with his game. Some players can score really well all throughout the country, but there aren’t many that can make it look easy like he does. He has a ton of tools in his game that allows him to hurt you in so many ways. Beamer’s pull-up game and range are impressive, knocking down shots with ease and with a ton of confidence; even a bad shot looks like a good shot when he lets it fly. But he is a dynamic guard with the ball in his hands, creating off the bounce, finding ways to score around or over defenders, and has good athleticism to his game that allows him to finish at the rim. The game seems to slow down for him at times, understanding how to create quality looks and plays, find teammates well, play under control, and look to create for himself.
It is something special, which is why we are writing this article. He should be a name for so many programs to start looking at more because of what he provides on the court, you just don’t see that all the time with players and it doesn’t look like he is slowing down any time soon.
What Was Said Earlier (Jeff Bendel):
Beamer is an incredibly polished, efficient three-level scorer with an amazing combination of IQ, craftiness, and quickness. He understands angles extremely well and utilizes jabs, ball-fakes, and change of pace to his advantage. Beamer is a smooth player who leads by example and operates with a calm demeanor at all times. He’s a quality playmaker, yet scores the ball so well that his team is typically better served when he’s looking to control the action offensively. Beamer’s “bad†shots are higher percentage attempts than “good†shots for others. His per-game averages echo this notion:
2022-23 (Freshman): 23.3 PPG, 1.2 RPG, 1.0 APG, 0.7 SPG, 0.2 BPG
2023-24 (Sophomore): 25.0 PPG, 6.1 RPG, 3.5 APG, 0.7 SPG, 0.2 BPG with 58/41/85 splits
