Highlighting players who recently played in our Phenom Prep Showcase, we now take a look at a player who should certainly have the attention of college programs and has proven to be a college-worthy prospect. 2026 6’8 Stephano Farrington has seen his stock continue to rise with his play this season. Each time we watch him, he seems to get better and better, yet there still is potential left in his game as he continues to develop.
What makes Farrington intriguing is his defensive presence; he uses his long length and wingspan extremely well and has great timing in being able to block or alter shots, simply helping eliminate opportunities for opponents. Offensively, he continues to shine with his ability to finish high at the rim, having several dunks, finishing strong and high, and also helping attack the glass to create extra opportunities. Farrington’s mobility and length is what sets him apart from others and allows him to find success, though there is still plenty of room to add more to his offensive repertoire.
But from what we have seen, this is a prospect worth looking at more and following as he continues to develop.
