2025-26 Dexter Southfield School College Prospects
The Dexter Southfield School is an independent co-educational day school located in Brookline, MA, educating students from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. It was founded in 1926 as the Dexter School. In 2013 the Dexter School merged with the sister school Southfield School to form Dexter Southfield. Dexter was attended by Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. and the 35th president of the United States, John F. Kennedy, along with other notable figures.
Their boys basketball program is a college basketball feeder program. The four values the team discusses daily are competition, consistency, communication, and care. Dexter's goal is to run a college-level program that will prepare their student-athletes for a seamless transition to collegiate play. The varsity team vies annually for a seed in the New England Prep School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) Class A tournament.

He shot the 3 at 34% this season so he is capable of stretching the defense. For a wing player, he also does a tremendous job on the offensive glass. At 6'4", he plays physically and can move his feet which allows him to guard up and down. He is extremely versatile, communicates well, and plays the game with the requisite physicality. Above all, he has a drive to improve, wants to be coached hard, is always the first to the floor, and the toughness he plays with impacts winning. Playing AAU with Middlesex Magic Alex. 3.4 gpa

He is terrific at attacking the paint in transition and half court situations, with or without a ball screen and forces the defense into rotation situations. He shot 32% from 3 on the season and has shown remarkable improvement over the last 10 months. One of the most physical and disruptive defenders you will see.
