Travis Perry isn’t the only Kentucky high school basketball player hauling in Power Five scholarship offers. There’s another talented prospect not far away from Lexington that is drawing even more attention on the national stage.

Malachi Moreno, a 6-foot-11 big man with a 7-foot-1 wingspan out of Georgetown (KY) Great Crossing, is blowing up across the country. Only a high school junior, Moreno is already considered one of the top recruits from the 2025 class.
