"AJ to Darryn to Caleb": Hoops fans react as 5-star prospect Caleb Holt joins AJ Dybantsa's alma mater 

Prolific Prep High School has become a launching pad for future college and NBA players, with past players including AJ Dybantsa and Jalen Green. On Monday, the academy program landed another future star as five-star prospect Caleb Holt transferred to the program.

According to 247Sports Composite, Holt is the No. 5 overall player in the 2026 class and the No. 2 small forward.

Paul Biancardi, ESPN's national recruiting analyst, reported the news of Holt joining Prolific Prep via Instagram. Biancardi also mentioned that Holt recently won MVP at the Adidas Eurocamp in Italy after leading his team to the tournament championship.

Most hoops fans had a positive response to Holt's move to Dybantsa's alma mater.

Here is how fans reacted to Biancardi's Instagram post:

"Aj to Darryn to Caleb and even before that Jalen," one fan wrote.

"Leveling up each step of the way," another fan said.

"Go handle business my guy," a fan added.

"Spread your wings Nephew! Tune out the negativity! Remember you work hard so you deserve it! The sky is the limit," one fan commented.

"Grayson will miss you Caleb! Go be great! Thanks for a great 2024 season," another fan said.

"Huge move here. Kid is probably the best all around player in the country," one fan chimed in.

While AJ Dybantsa, the No. 1 player in the 2025 class, played for Prolific Prep in Napa Valley, California, the school's new addition, Caleb Holt, will join the program in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Since its creation in 2014, the academy has been based out of Napa Valley, producing notable players, including Dybantsa, who graduated this year and is committed to playing for BYU in the fall.

However, last month, the school announced that it would move its operations to Florida beginning next season.

"This move to South Florida will be an incredibly positive move for our program and players," Prolific Prep coach Ryan Bernardi said via ESPN.com. "Staying ahead of the curve with a prime location and enhanced resources sets up Prolific Prep for an unprecedented next chapter of success."

After AJ Dybantsa and Darryn Peterson, Holt is next up to lead the way for the program.
