Known as a polished, high-IQ guard in the mold of Kon Knueppel, he thrives as a spot-up shooter and elite role player who excels next to stars without needing high volume. A skilled ball-handler and decision-maker, Craig has earned recruiting interest from over 65 NCAA Division I programs, including Kansas, Pitt, Arkansas State, Colorado State, Ole Miss, Texas, Syracuse, and many more. Craig was invited to the prestigious 2025 CrossRoads Elite Invitational (Aug. 1–3), signifying him as one of the top freshmen in the country. His game blends CJ McCollum’s craft, Grayson Allen’s spacing (minus the dirty plays), and Ty Jerome’s poise, making him a reliable presence in any lineup. Off the court, Craig values the relationships he builds in basketball. His best friend, Hudson Goodman, is a standout baseball player with elite upside, and Craig often says that “any college baseball program looking for future talent should have Goodman on their radar.” Class: 2028 School: Des Arc High School (AR) Recruiting Interest: 65+ NCAA D-I programs (full list available)
