Player: Jay Nelson (Nelson Mboudjika)
Class: 2026
Height: 6’9
School: CATS Academy/ Expressions Elite

Offers: Rhode Island, Bryant

Game Description:

“I play the four and can play out of the post as well. I draw a lot of attention when I catch it in the post, so I try my best to read when I should score or pass it out. I can guard 1-5 on the court and I average double-digit rebounds all season long so far. Right now, I plan on developing more of my shooting ability and scoring out of the posts.”

Season Overview:

“Personally, I started a little slow but after a couple of games, I started having double digits in games and as a team, our chemistry got a lot better as the season went on. I began to be more confident, taking more shots and helping my team on the defensive end.”
