Brandon Martin, Jr. and Malachi Duhaney Give Pitt Jam Fest a Strong Pennsylvania Angle

Two rising Pennsylvania prospects surfaced early in the weekend notebook, and both bring real in game substance with them.

Two names stood out immediately: Brandon Martin, Jr. and Malachi Duhaney. Martin was one of the featured players in numerous standout posts, while Duhaney joined him as the other obvious PA name lighting up the board. Both prospects are affiliated with scholastic settings that suggest a natural progression that leads to scholarship acquisition.  

Brandon Martin, Jr. already looks like one of the more visible young PA prospects in the 2028 class

Brandon Martin, Jr. is listed as a 6-foot-7 combo guard/shooting guard in the 2028 class at The Phelps School in Pennsylvania. 247Sports also verifies him at 6-7, 200-pound frame, reinforcing the size and school context attached to his profile.  

What makes Martin especially interesting to college coaches his game is not just built on size. The buzz surrounding Brandon could become deafening in a hurry. His explosive play, skill and raw talent is a rare combination. Expect more offers in the coming weeks for this 2028 prospect.

First seen with Greensburg Central Catholic expect Wildcat Select, to lean on this Western PA’s prospects perimeter skill set and athleticism as the competition stiffens. Therefore the opportunity for a huge summer is at his finger tips  Early indication is he will take full advantage.

Malachi Duhaney brings a different kind of value: size, versatility, and documented production

Malachi Duhaney gives this recap a strong Pennsylvania development angle. Team Pennsylvania’s player page lists Malachi Duhaney from Chambersburg, PA as a 6’7”, 170-pound guard/forward at Chambersburg High School. Malachi presents valuable front-court wing versatility.  

This is a prospect just starting to scratch the surface not a finished product. Last seen in a March state-playoff game in which Duhaney scored 10 points in Chambersburg’s win over Coatesville. One thing you can count on is, he is in a high level high school program that develops talent..  

Two PA kids off to great starts this weekend. One Martin’s profile reads like early national-recruiting traction. Duhaney’s reads more like a Pennsylvania prospect building value through size and role flexibility, Both belong in the same conversation, but they arrive there through different paths.  

Prep Scene Take

Brandon Martin, Jr. looks like the kind of early-blooming Pennsylvania prospect who already checks major national boxes: size, pedigree, circuit identity, and recruiting traction that will lead to a very big recruiting summer.

Malachi Duhaney looks like a strong Pennsylvania follow for college coaches to track – trust that his growth and play will continue to elevate he already provides size, and positional flexibility in the class of 2028.
