Overtime Elite is back at it. Entering their sixth season, OTE has underwent constant expansion, now having nine teams in their league for high school-aged programs. Chipotle Nationals runner-up Dynamic Prep (Dallas, Texas) has joined the league, adding to a group of immensely talented players who are already capitalizing on their talents.
The first stop for Overtime Elite players for 2025-26 was the OTE Combine. Sponsored by Gatorade, the OTE Combine (more commonly known as OTE Pro Day) was a two day event at OTE’s state of the art facility in gorgeous Midtown Atlanta. Players were put through virtually the same exact drills they would at the NBA Combine, going through a series of drills, then wrapping things up with live 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 play. Twenty-seven of the 30 NBA teams were in attendance, along with over 100 D1 college coaches, providing a platform for players to take their exposure to new heights.
Here are six of the top performers from the 2025 OTE Combine:
Taylen Kinney, 6’3, PG, RWE, 2026
The highest ranked senior in OTE certainly lived up to his reputation, clearly establishing himself as the top senior that the 2026 OTE class has to offer. While Kinney is not a freak athlete, he has a freakish ability of forcing people to play the game at the pace he wants to play at. The Kentucky product is elite at getting to his spots, has an incredibly high IQ, and can create separation with his change of speed to get back to his jump shot (he led everyone in group by hitting 86.7 percent of his pull-up jumpers in drills). Having narrowed his list to Kentucky, Louisville, Indiana and Kansas, there were representatives from just about every finalist (including Jayhawks boss Bill Self) to watch the elite point guard at the OTE Combine.
Gabe Nesmith, 6’6, SG, City Reapers, 2027
A consensus five star recruit, Nesmith has had a ride unlike most. As a freshman, he won the Chipotle National Championship on a Montverde Academy squad that included first round picks Cooper Flagg, Derik Queen, Liam McNeeley, and Asa Newell. As a sophomore, the West Palm Beach native made the move to Cali, played with potential future No. 1 NBA Draft pick Darryn Peterson, and won the Grind Session World Championship. For his junior campaign, he is with OTE and the silky smooth wing showed that he’s one of their best during the Pro Day. Nesmith was outstanding creating separation off the bounce with limited dribbles, was near automatic with his pull-up jumper, and finished second in the star shooting drill (80 percent). After accepting his role on video game-esque high school teams his first two years of high school, Gabe appears to be ready to take over at OTE.
Jeremy Jenkins, 6’9, PF/C, City Reapers, 2027
The most productive big man the OTE Combine had to offer was undoubtedly Jenkins, a long armed big out of Miami. The super physical junior constantly initiated contact in the pant, showed the ability to make plays for himself and others out of short rolls, and was agile enough to avoid defenders via his crafty footwork. Owning offers from 20+ high major programs, Jenkins has firmly established himself as one of the best bigs in the class of 2027.
Adam Oumiddoch, 6’5.5, SG, Cold Hearts, 2026
Some players look great in drills, where as some get it done when the live play starts. Oumiddoch is one of those guys who is a gamer. Approaching 6-foot-6, the two guard utilized his size to exploit smaller guards, threw defenders off with his crafty change of pace, and was simply automatic with his mid-range jumper (he tied Taylen Kinney at 86.7 percent from mid-range during drills). Oregon, Villanova, and LSU are considered to be the leaders for this four star bucket-getter.
Tyran Frazier, 6’10, PF/C, RWE, 2027
A player who I had only gotten a brief glimpse at playing with Brad Beal Elite 16U in EYBL, Frazier has all of the makings college coaches dream of out of a stretch big man. He possesses an incredibly fluid stroke from beyond the 3-point arc, flashes to open areas for mid-range jumpers, and is a constant threat as a floor spacer any time that he is on the floor. The St. Louis product has firmly established himself as a top-50 recruit with the potential to go much higher as he continues to get stronger and realize his potential on the defensive end.
Parker Robinson, 6’4, SG, RWE, 2026
