Richard Sykes Jr. is a rising two-way spark for USMMA
In the 2025-26 season, Richard Sykes Jr. has shown real pop as a freshman wing/guard for Merchant Marine, with game logs that include a career-high 19 points and 6 assists against St. Joseph’s-Long Island plus a 16-point, 10-rebound outing earlier in the year. His calling card is versatility: he scores, rebounds, creates, and has been a disruptive defender with a 4-steal game, which makes him more than a box-score guy. At 6-3, he looks like a hard-nosed, high-motor fit for teams that value activity, toughness, and late-game juice.
