Four-star small forward prospect Brice Sensabaugh, the No. 61 overall player in the cycle, per 247Sports, was named Florida Mr. Basketball after averaging 25.1 points and 7.2 rebounds per game for Orlando's Lake Highland Prep this year.

Sensabaugh, a 6-foot-6, 240-pound wing, led his team to the state semifinal before falling to eventual champion Fort Lauderdale Calvary Christian by a two-point margin. Sensabaugh was also previously named 4A state Player of the Year in Florida.
Sensabaugh, who missed his junior season due to a knee injury, committed to Ohio State this past September and signed with the program on Nov. 10, 2021.
One of four four-star prospects and five overall signees in the Buckeyes' 2022 cycle, Sensabaugh is the second future Ohio State player in the class to have been named Mr. Basketball in their respective state in the past couple weeks. Four-star point guard Bruce Thornton, the top-ranked player in the Buckeyes' class (No. 42), was named Georgia Mr. Basketball on March 25.
There is a new KING in town!!
