Jay Beahan, a 6‑foot‑11 junior from Bremerton, Washington, has emerged as one of the most talked‑about high school prospects in the state.
The lanky forward, who grew up playing AAU basketball in the fifth grade, has drawn scholarship offers from three Division I programs — Montana, San Francisco and Bethune‑Cookman — signaling growing confidence in his abilities.
A coach’s endorsement
Bremerton head coach Miah Davis, who has guided Beahan for the past season, describes the youngster as a work‑ethic exemplar who is now more comfortable and aggressive on the court.
Davis notes that Beahan’s physical transformation and off‑season conditioning have placed him in the best shape of his life, setting the stage for a breakout 2026‑27 campaign.
Beyond the numbers
While his statistical line last winter hovered around six points, six rebounds and two blocks per game, the numbers only scratch the surface of his impact. Teammates and opponents alike have observed his expanding role in the Knights’ offense and his ability to protect the rim.
Working with Seattle‑based trainer Mike Knight for four years, Beahan has refined his shooting mechanics and footwork, a partnership that both he and Davis credit for his rapid development.
The upcoming season promises to showcase a player who not only leverages his size but also his newfound confidence, making him a focal point for college scouts and local fans alike.
