Dakari Spear, a four-star shooting guard in the 2026 class, has narrowed his list of schools down to five, he told Rivals. Moving forward, the 6-foot-4 rising senior of Dynamic Prep (TX) will consider Syracuse, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Vanderbilt, and Virginia Tech.

Spear, a native of Dallas, Texas, is ranked as the No. 67 overall player in the class, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking. He’s also the No. 20 shooting guard.

Spear breaks down each of his finalists with Rivals here.

He hasn’t taken any official visits to this point and is currently in the process of setting them up.

As a junior at The Colony, his former high school, Spear averaged 23 points and seven rebounds per game on 55% shooting from the field.

This summer with Drive Nation on the EYBL Circuit, he averaged 13.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game while shooting 40.7% from the field.

Spear talks his game + what he’s looking for in a school

In a previous interview with Rivals, Spear discussed his game.

“I’m a three-level scorer,” Spear told On3. “I am a 6-foot-4, 6-foot-5 combo guard, so I can get to my spots and score at each level, whether it’s catch-and-shoot, mid-range shooting over my defenders, or getting downhill.”

He also knows what he wants in his future college program.

“I want to go to a school that is a good environment for me. Education will always come first for me, so a good setup. I want to play for a coach who trusts me from the start. Someone who will let me make plays and be who I am, and just develop my game. Ultimately, I’m trying to get to the next level.”
