Gabriel Ogele '28 Recruiting Profile

Scouting Report: Gabriel Ogele (Class of 2028)

Gabriel Ogele is a 6'0" point guard/shooting guard from Thomas Edison EnergySmart Charter (NJ) who has established himself as one of the most dynamic freshman scorers in the state. Averaging 22.5 PPG with five 30+ point games (including a 39-point career-high), Ogele combines deep range shooting (multiple games with 7+ threes) with elite shot creation, ball-handling under pressure, and crafty finishing at the rim. Despite facing constant double-teams, he's shown advanced playmaking ability and leadership, outplaying ranked upperclassmen while earning recognition as a Top 100 freshman and Top 20 PG in New Jersey. His early dominance (2nd among NJ freshman scorers, 18th statewide across all grades) has already drawn D1 interest and D2 interest from universities.

Beyond basketball, Ogele excels academically with all honors classes, including Honors Geometry as a freshman, while maintaining a 3.4 GPA. His rare combination of on-court production (450 points in 20 games), work ethic (noted by trainers), and academic discipline make him a high-ceiling prospect. With continued development of his defense and playmaking, Ogele projects as a potential program-changing guard at the collegiate level, with current mid-major interest likely to expand as his game matures. His ability to dominate games while elevating teammates suggests he's only beginning to tap into his potential.
