Northwood Team Camp: 2026s Gaining Traction

Northwood University hosted its first high school team camp from June 27th to 29th. A fantastic variety of teams attended from all across Michigan, and the OT Tournament remains a staple of the camp. The stars shone, and several unknowns proved their potential to play college basketball. Here are several 2026 prospects who had a great camp for their teams.    Jensyn is a versatile guard/wing who fills a key role for Midland by contributing in every phase. She cuts off dribble drives with her quick lateral footwork and is an aggressive rebounder. Jensyn deflected passes, grabbed a steal, and was a strong rebounder at Northwood Team Camp. She drove hard to the basket to earn free throws, knocked them down, and scored a left-handed scoop layup in transition. Jensyn scored multiple layups in traffic off two feet and used a sweet fake pass move for another layup.     Emersyn had a strong first session with [program_tooltip program_id='714458' first='Michigan' last='Cobras'] and continued to flourish with Morenci at Northwood Team Camp. She took a dribble hand-off hard to the basket and made a quick transfer to score a layup with a soft touch off the glass. Emersyn jumped into the passing lane for a steal and took it the other way for two. She blocked shots on defense, grabbed rebounds with tenacity, and drove with a burst straight to the rim for layups. Emersyn earned a higher ranking in our latest update.     Jaelyn was a hidden gem that appeared with Ludington at the Northwood Team Camp. Her length and aggressiveness on both ends immediately grabbed my attention. Jaelyn was a fierce rim protector, blocking many shots in the paint with excellent timing. She caught passes on the perimeter and drove with determination to the basket. Jaelyn scored many layups and converted shots through contact off two feet. She pushed the ball up the court with both hands after securing rebounds and threw a great left-handed pass around a defender. Jaelyn caught a pass off a screen and roll with soft hands to score a layup. She communicated with teammates on the court and had an impressive camp.     Stella is a soccer first athlete who showed her talent on the basketball court with Rochester at Northwood Team Camp. She tight-roped the sideline, changed lanes with a crossover, and dropped in a floater over a defender. Stella showed her shooting accuracy by draining mid-range jumpers, long shots from the corners, and triples from the wings. She handled the ball confidently with both hands, ran the floor with quick, long strides, zipped skip passes to open teammates, and anticipated shots off the rim to secure rebounds. One of Stella's highlight plays was when she ended the half with an explosive drive-by layup in top gear after freezing a defender with a shot fake.     Carly turned in another clutch performance for Northville during the O.T. tournament this year at Northwood Team Camp. The Mustangs made it back to the finals and Carly was crucial to their run. She buried a deep wing three, straightaway triple, and converted key free throws at the line. Carly beat defenders off the dribble and drove fearlessly to the basket to earn free throws. She caused turnovers, snagged key steals, and escaped traps. Carly made plenty of plays throughout the camp. One of her highlights was a shifty crossover, behind-the-back combo dribble that sent her defender falling to the floor. She buried a corner three, scored a left-handed layup in transition, and pushed the ball up the court with both hands in top gear for another layup.
