Cayden Daughtry, a 6‑foot‑1 point guard from Fort Lauderdale’s Calvary Christian Academy, has quickly become one of the most talked‑about prospects in the 2026 basketball class.
During Nike’s Peach Jam, he posted averages of 32.3 points, 6.1 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 2.9 steals per game, shooting 58.6 percent from the field and 48.8 percent from three‑point range.
Ranked No. 10 overall and No. 3 among point guards by ESPN, Daughtry’s blend of scoring, playmaking and shooting accuracy has attracted the attention of several elite programs.
The weekend of Oct. 30 through Nov. 1 will see him make an official visit to Fayetteville, Arkansas, where he is expected to tour the campus and meet with the Razorbacks coaching staff.
His itinerary also includes previous official trips to Florida State, Tennessee, Iowa, Connecticut, Florida and Miami, each of which has offered him a scholarship.
Arkansas’ recent extension of an official offer places the university among the front‑runners in his recruitment.
A Recruit's Road
The path of a five‑star recruit is rarely linear, but Daughtry’s schedule reflects a deliberate effort to evaluate each program’s fit before the NCAA’s early signing period opens on Nov. 11.
With the signing window looming, the decisions made in the coming weeks could have ripple effects across the national landscape, influencing not only the Razorbacks’ roster but also the broader recruiting picture.
