AAU: Jet Academy Florida — Nike Jr. EYBL
In a state loaded with guard talent, Nate Rodriguez has carved out his reputation the hard way — by competing up, producing consistently, and controlling games against older competition.
Widely viewed as a Top PG in Florida, Rodriguez brings a complete floor-general package built on toughness, pace, and feel. He’s a playmaker by nature, a scorer by necessity, and a guard who thrives in contact-heavy, high-pressure moments.
Why He Stands Out
Rodriguez’s impact goes well beyond the box score. What immediately jumps out is his motor and physicality at the point of attack. He plays through contact, absorbs bumps without losing balance, and uses a strong frame paired with burst to get downhill.
Key strengths include:
- Advanced playmaking and decision-making
- Scoring prowess at all three levels
- Court vision that elevates teammates
- Speed and strength that translate against older players
He doesn’t just initiate offense — he controls tempo, dictates matchups, and understands when to attack versus when to facilitate.
High School Production (Playing Up)
Despite never playing a middle school game, Rodriguez has been competing in high school basketball since 6th grade. This season at True North Academy (JV), he’s produced at a high level against older competition:
- 20.1 points per game
- 6.6 rebounds per game
- 4 assists per game
Those numbers reflect both volume and responsibility — and speak to his readiness for bigger stages.
C2C North East Camp Performance
At the C2C North East Camp (Hackensack, NJ | October 19, 2025), Rodriguez delivered one of the most complete guard performances of the event.
Stat Line (3 games):
- 28 points
- 8 rebounds
- 5 assists
He closed the event with authority, finishing an and-one at the end of the clip to seal the game, reinforcing his reputation as a late-game difference maker.
Evaluators noted his poise, physical finishes, and ability to make the right play under pressure — traits that consistently show up when the competition rises.
Scouting & Growth
Rodriguez currently holds a #35 national ranking in the Class of 2031 via C2C, with his stock trending upward. One of the most notable improvements since his last evaluation has been his three-point consistency, adding a reliable perimeter threat to an already strong downhill game.
Additional positive feedback has come from Prep Hoops evaluators, who highlighted his competitiveness, strength, and impact at the Peach State event in Georgia.
Player Background
Rodriguez has been on the radar as a tough, skilled guard out of Miami, but his exposure is still growing. With only a handful of national events under his belt so far, his trajectory suggests there’s more to uncover as he expands his schedule.
Now competing on the Nike Jr. EYBL circuit with Jet Academy Florida, he’s entering a phase where his game will be tested — and showcased — against elite peers nationwide.
Future Projection
High-upside guard with high-major tools.
Rodriguez projects as a rapidly rising prospect in the Class of 2031, with the physicality, IQ, and production to continue climbing state and national boards. As his exposure increases, his blend of toughness, scoring, and playmaking should translate smoothly against top-tier competition.
