Q-and-A with Trey Beamer, point guard for IMG Academy

Trey Beamer recently wrapped up his first season with the IMG Academy boys basketball program (Bradenton, Florida).

Beamer, a budding basketball prospect, quickly saw the recruiting attention grow with the Ascenders.

A native of Martinsville, Virginia, Beamer has received offers from Wake Forest, Mississippi State, West Virginia, La Salle, High Point, Old Dominion and College of Charleston with the possibility of more in the future.

Staying close to home would be nice, but its not a deciding factor, Beamer said.

Im just looking for the best fit for me.

The Ascenders went 21-8 during the 2024-25 season, which ended with a loss to Wasatch Academy (Utah) at Chipotle Nationals.

While the season didnt go the way IMG Academy hoped, Beamer is looking to the future.

He is competing with Team United in the Nike EYBL his 15th season in the circuit.

Beamer dropped 34 points with three steals and a block in Team Uniteds first game last Friday.

We caught up with Beamer to talk about his first season with IMG Academy, competing with Team United in another season of the EYBL circuit and more.
