No. 10: Branton Little

Lanky and thin with projection easy to dream on moving forward.  Good direction, working level with a long, athletic arm swing getting to a high-3/4 slot.  Easy release with a quick hand.  This Wofford commit has helped Wando High School reach the district championship twice and looks to help lead them back again in his Senior year.
