Hagen Hurst | 6’8” Forward | O’Connor HS | SA Future
When you talk IQ, footwork, and feel for the game, there aren’t many like Hagen Hurst.
The 6’8” forward out of O’Connor High School has become one of the most polished and skilled bigs in the Texas 2026 class. A quiet killer who sees the floor like a point guard, plays inside with McHale-like precision, and stretches defenses with his jumper — Hagen’s game checks every box.
In this Watchlist episode, Kevin Howell sits down with the SA Future standout to talk:
How he developed elite passing vision and basketball IQ
What makes his post footwork so tough to guard
The evolution of his shooting and floor-spacing
Competing on the summer circuit with SA Future
What college coaches can expect from him at the next level
📲 Coaches, scouts, hoop heads — this is a full breakdown of a big-time forward with a big-time brain.
