Five-Star Plus+ SF Nate Ament taking an official visit to Texas this weekend

Nate Ament, On3’s No. 3 overall prospect in the 2025 class, will be at the University of Texas for an official visit this weekend, sources told On3. This marks his first known official visit.

The 6-foot-9 small forward out of Highland High School (VA) holds an offer from the Longhorns, along with Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina, Louisville, Georgetown, Virginia, UConn, Kansas, Kansas State, and many others.

Ament, a Five-Star Plus+ prospect, has previously taken unofficial visits to Virginia and Duke.

Ament was recently featured as a standout out the CBG Fall Series, according to On3’s Jamie Shaw:

“Simply put, guys who are pushing 6-foot-10 height-wise should not be able to do many of the things Nate Ament does. He is a fluid athlete with excellent length. Where Ament really shines is his ability to create an advantage in the half-court. At his height, the forward is most comfortable facing the basket and lining up from different levels on the court, and getting to his spots. He has an excellent mid-post game, using his body well and creating angles that routinely get his high-release clean looks. He is an excellent passer as well. Running actions as a primary out of the pick-and-roll, Ament was showed he could play through contact with two feet in the paint and deliver pin-point passes with either hand off a live dribble. The shooting stroke has become more fluid and his balance getting into his shooting motion consistently gets him clean looks at the rim. Ament is seemingly just starting to scratch the surface of his upside, and he keeps adding pieces to his game.”

Ament Scouting Report

“Nate Ament has a basketball player’s frame. While thin, he has good length and excellent positional size. It is that positional size that allows for his versatility on the floor. Ament is comfortable on the ball at each level. In fact, his passing and processing might be his most intriguing attribute on the court. Ament is an excellent passer with both hands, from multiple levels, off a live dribble or set. The jump shot release can get a little long, but he can knock down a three when given time and his size helps get into his shot motion. Ament plays with a good pace, while lacking true blow by speed, he has a good pace and is typically either bigger or more mobile than his defender at this point to help him get to various spots on the floor. Ament is thin with narrow shoulders, he will need to continue adding weight. He is also a quiet by nature person, and a late bloomer. Continue to watch as he develops. He has a unique game that enhances the level of those around him.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
