16 points, 11 rebounds, and varsity-ready toughness — William Peagler Jr is already playing beyond his grade level.

From controlling the glass to attacking the rim, Stink Peagler Jr looked like a proven varsity piece in his very first scrimmage.

Top25Scouts News: William “Stink” Peagler Jr — Freshman PG Already Making Varsity Noise in Ohio

DAYTON, OHIO — CLASS OF 2029

The freshman class in Ohio has serious talent, but few have hit the high school scene with more impact than William “Stink” Peagler Jr, a 6’0 point guard for Archbishop Alter High School / Baneville Academy. From the moment he stepped onto the varsity floor, Stink showed the poise, physicality, and motor of an upperclassman — and he’s already earning Division I attention.

In a recent varsity scrimmage vs Lebanon, the young PG proved he belongs at the high school level immediately.

DOMINANT SCRIMMAGE PERFORMANCE

Against a tough Lebanon squad, Peagler delivered one of the best freshman debuts we’ve seen this preseason:

STAT LINE:

• 16 Points
• 11 Rebounds (as a POINT GUARD)
• 3 Assists
• 3 Steals

This wasn’t a “flashy moment” type performance — it was a full-game takeover rooted in toughness, energy, and winning plays.

WHY HE STOOD OUT

1. Elite Motor

Peagler played with a relentless motor from opening tip to the final possession. He sprinted the floor, pressured the ball, and competed like every play meant everything. That’s rare for a freshman.

2. Insane Rebounding for a PG

Pulling 11 rebounds at the varsity level as a freshman point guard speaks to his:

• Strength
• Timing
• Willingness to do dirty work
• Toughness around bigger bodies

He treats every board like it belongs to him.

D1 INTEREST ALREADY ROLLING IN

Before even playing his first official high school game, Stink has earned a Division I offer from Murray State — proof that his talent and long-term upside are already being noticed at the next level.

SCOUTING SUMMARY

William Peagler Jr looks like:

• A varsity-ready guard with size
• A high-motor competitor
• A physical, fearless rebounder
• A tough shot-maker who can impact both ends
• A long-term D1 prospect with big upside

For a freshman, the foundation is well ahead of schedule.
