PLANTATION, FL — Standing 6’1”, forward Sarah-Renee Ingraham of American Heritage is emerging as one of Florida’s most intriguing young prospects. A member of the Class of 2027, Ingraham is preparing to make a major leap this summer as she joins Florida Nation on the New Balance Circuit — a stage built for athletes ready to prove they belong among the nation’s best.
At American Heritage, one of the top programs in Florida high school basketball, Ingraham has already developed a reputation for her length, versatility, and defensive instincts. Though still early in her varsity career, she has shown flashes of dominance — running the floor, protecting the rim, and finishing efficiently around the basket. Coaches praise her for her coachability, quiet confidence, and ability to impact both ends of the court without needing to be the loudest voice in the gym.
“She’s got the tools you can’t teach — height, hands, and timing,” one Florida Nation coach said. “This summer, it’s about putting it all together and showing she can compete with the best forwards in the country.”
The New Balance Circuit provides exactly that environment. Ingraham will compete against elite competition from across the U.S., playing in front of college coaches, media, and scouts — all while representing a Florida Nation program known for its emphasis on exposure, player development, and media visibility.
What makes this summer especially significant for Ingraham is the opportunity to expand her offensive game. At 6’1”, she has already proven she can anchor the paint defensively, but the circuit will allow her to showcase a growing face-up jumper, improved footwork, and better decision-making in space. Those skills could transform her from a promising post player into a true modern forward — the kind every college program covets.
Her mindset heading into the summer is simple: compete, learn, and elevate. Surrounded by college-level coaches, former McDonald’s All-Americans, and other Division I prospects, she’s in the right setting to take that next step.
If her trajectory continues, expect Sarah-Renee Ingraham to become a key name to watch in Florida’s 2027 class — a player with the physical tools, discipline, and upside to make real noise on the national stage.
“She’s just scratching the surface,” one evaluator noted. “Once her confidence catches up with her talent, she’s going to be special.”
