Data Dive: Utah Rising Stars Games

June 11, 2026
RJ Elmore
Mountain West Operations Director

The Utah Rising Stars Games on June 4th gave our staff a strong look at some of the top young talent from the 2030 and 2031 classes across the state. The event featured a talented group of players competing in a game environment while giving our staff an early opportunity to evaluate athleticism, tools, and overall upside.

As an early summer showcase, the event helped establish a foundation for future evaluations as these prospects continue to develop over the coming years. Performances from the Utah Rising Stars Games will help identify players to follow moving forward for future invite-only events, including the Junior Future Games.

See below for the full leaderboards and top statistical performers from the event.
