steady-shooting Akron guard with a compact, high-upside prep résumé
In the 2025-26 season, Groce is a redshirt freshman guard for Akron who has seen limited action so far, but his calling card is clear: he was a high-efficiency prep scorer at Revere HS, hitting 48% from the field, 43% from three and 82% at the line as a senior. That kind of shooting touch, plus a sturdy 6-foot, 165-pound frame and a redshirt year to develop, makes him an interesting long-term fit for teams valuing spacing and patience. He’s not a volume stat monster yet, but he looks like a development bet with shooter DNA.
