Tyran Stokes (born October 12, 2007) is an American basketball player who currently attends Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, California. He is a consensus five-star recruit and the top ranked player in the 2026 class.

Early life and high school career

Stokes began playing basketball competitively as a first grader in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. At the age of nine, he moved to San Diego and then the Atlanta area before settling in Napa, California. As an eighth grader in 2022, Stokes played in the Nike Peach Jam under-16 category for Team WhyNot.

Stokes enrolled at Prolific Prep ahead of his freshman season.

Stokes was one of just two players from the 2026 class invited to the NBAPA Top 100 Camp that offseason, with the other being AJ Dybantsa. He was noted by Russ Wood of Rivals.com as one of the standout performers on the final day of competition, concluding that he had "elite prospect written all over him." A week later at the Nike Peach Jam, Stokes averaged 11.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game on 51.3 percent shooting, helping Vegas Elite to a second-place finish in the under-17 category.

Ahead of his sophomore season, Stokes improved his strength and added weight to his frame. He was joined at Prolific Prep by fellow top recruit AJ Dybantsa.

Recruiting

In June 2023, Stokes became the number one recruit in the 2026 class when the top recruit, AJ Dybantsa, reclassified to the 2025 class.
