A year of strong development helped Avon Old Farms junior James Towers secure a commitment to Denver. (Avon Old Farms)
The Class of ‘26 has its fair share of prodigies. In fact, most of the top end of the class could carry that moniker proudly.
But there is another contingent in that group; a sizeable portion of the players in the first wave of commits underwent a recent change, either in their skill level or physiological growth, that helped them get to a place where they were getting calls in the first week of September.
For Avon Old Farms attackman James Towers (New Canaan, Conn.), it was a combination of both of those aspects.
The James Towers that committed to Denver is not the same James Towers that Avon Old Farms head coach Kyle Jackson had at the start of last season.
