Top-100 2023 Forward Devin Royal Earns Praise, High-Profile Offers From EYBL Performance, Says Ohio State Coaches “Love Me”

Entering the second session of Nike EYBL play last weekend, Devin Royal still didn’t have a ranking in the 247Sports composite.

That changed by the end of the event, as the class of 2023 small forward from Pickerington Central High School proved himself well worthy of four-star status and a top-100 overall rating after more than one eye-opening performance in Indianapolis.

Now the fourth-ranked player in Ohio and the No. 86 prospect in his class, Royal earned third-team All-EYBL honors for his latest efforts in the AAU circuit, which included both a 28-point showcase and another 22-point outburst in his first two games of the four-contest slate.
