Joe Sterling, a four‑star shooting guard from Harvard‑Westlake, was named the LA Daily News offensive player of the year. He averaged 22 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and shot 43% from three‑point range during the season.
Sterling, ranked ninth best player in California and 96th nationally by 247Sports, is set to join the Texas Longhorns in 2026. His arrival, along with other top recruits, is expected to boost the program’s offense after a near‑miss national title run.
