Indiana has offered class of 2026 point guard Anthony Brown, he announced Wednesday on social media.

The four-star class of 2026 point guard Anthony Brown of Archbishop Carroll in Washington, DC, and the Team Durant AAU program had a breakout Nike EYBL spring and summer season in which he averaged 18.9 points. 4.7 assists, and 3.5 rebounds while leading Team Durant to the final eight at the Peach Jam.

The 6-foot-1,160 pound point guard is ranked No. 133 overall and the No. 12 point guard in the country and the No.1 player in D.C for the 2026 class by 247Sports.

Brown also has offers Georgia Tech, Syracuse, Saint Joesph's, Memphis Maryland, Mississippi State, Villanova, VCU, UCF, Tennessee, Memphis, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Georgetown and Vanderbilt.  He has plans to visit several of those programs in the next few weeks.

His visit schedule is set:

9/12-9/14- UCF

9/19-9/21- Vanderbilt

9/26-9/28- Villanova

10/4- Maryland

10/10-10/12- Texas Tech

10/17-10/19- Oklahoma State

11/7-11/9- Mississippi State

“I feel like I’m an all-around basketball player, who tries to get others around me better,” Brown previously told Rivals. “I’m always going to get points, but I feel like if my players around me are getting better, we’re going to look better as a collective unit. I watch a lot of Chris Paul. He is an undersized guard who makes everyone around him better. He knows how to get to his spots and once he gets off ball screens he knows how to read the defense.”

What the experts think about Anthony Brown

"Brown is coming off a breakout EYBL campaign in which he averaged 18.9 points. 4.7 assists, and 3.5 rebounds while leading a Team Durant squad that made the elite eight at the Peach Jam. He’s a scoring and playmaking lead guard with skill, strength, physicality, and vision. He can get buckets in bunches when he gets going and make some high-level passes. He’ll snap balls off the dribble, make good reads off ball-screens, and is an impressive lob thrower."

"He’s a scoring threat at all three levels who has deep shooting range when his feet are under him, can make pull-ups, and tough lay-ups at the rim with both hands. He does have a high-volume style though and is too willing to settle for tough shots, which can impact his overall efficiency numbers (40% FG, 30% 3pt, & 3.4 turnovers per game). He also lacks ideal size, length, or explosiveness for the very highest levels and can get swallowed up if a crowded lane collapses on him, so he tends to be most effective when playing north to south with the ball, where he can push to create pace and space to operate in."

"Defensively, he’s physical and competitive, but best when not over-exposed too far away from his help and also not especially switchable because of his lack of size. The biggest long-term question though is how he adapts when he doesn’t have the same extreme levels of volume and freedom that he’s enjoyed during both the high school and EYBL seasons." - Adam Finkelstein the Director of Scouting for 247 and CBS Sports

Indiana assistant coach and D.C native Kenny Johnson is the lead on Brown's recruitment. He saw him play numerous times this spring and summer. His announcement for a Indiana visit will be posted soon in the near future.
