A Rising Star
Zoie Singleton, an eighth‑grade student at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School, has been crowned the top-ranked basketball player in the United States for the Class of 2031. She leads the school’s girls’ varsity team and is a key member of Nike’s Southern Stars development program.
The young phenom recently secured her first Division I scholarship offer from Mississippi State University, a milestone that underscores the early impact of her game. Analysts expect additional offers to follow as her performance continues to draw national attention.
Her debut appearance for the St. Andrew’s varsity squad is slated for this winter, marking the first step in what many anticipate will be a rapid ascent through collegiate and potentially professional pathways.
Looking Ahead
Beyond the immediate season, Singleton’s trajectory reflects a broader trend of early specialization and elite training programs shaping the next generation of talent. With Nike’s Southern Stars providing resources and exposure, she is positioned to influence both her school’s program and the national basketball landscape.
