6-6 guard with upside, but still an unknown at the college level
Sampaio is a redshirt freshman guard at Florida Atlantic who brings a pro-style frame for a perimeter player at 6-6 and 185 pounds, but he has not logged any official college stats yet, and FAU says he did not compete in the 2025-26 season. In high school, he showed a balanced two-way profile—13.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.9 steals per game in 2024-25—suggesting length, activity and defensive versatility, but the key question for any roster fit is projection rather than proven production.[9][3][19]
