6-9 Forward with Elite Blocks and Double-Double Grit for UNC
Zayden High, a 6-9 sophomore forward from Rockwall, TX, averaged 3.4 points and 2.8 rebounds in the 2025-26 season but stands out for his defensive intensity, tying his career high with 2 blocks in November 2025 and delivering a rare double-double against NC State that earned him extended UNC looks. His differentiators include a 48.1% field goal accuracy, a physical 225-pound frame, and a high-intensity personality that thrives in clutch moments—evidenced by his career-high 12 points on 6-of-9 shooting in a key win. While his 0.5 assists per game reflect limited playmaking, his rebounding and shot-blocking make him a perfect fit for teams needing a tough, reliable interior presence who doesn’t shy from pressure.
