A Division One prospect emerges 

Dylan’s prowess on the court is undeniable. With a playstyle marked by agility, accuracy, and sheer talent, it is no surprise he has caught the eye of scouts and coaches, marking himself as a top-tier Division One contender.

Caribbean Exposure: The backstage heroes 

Beyond Dylan’s innate skills lies a support system that has been instrumental in his journey – Caribbean Exposure. 

Founded by Mervin Forbes and Jonathan Hevia, this organization scouts and nurtures basketball talents from the Caribbean, connecting them with invaluable opportunities in the US.

Miami Prep and beyond: Dylan’s guided journey

With Caribbean Exposure’s vast network, Dylan was introduced to Miami Prep, a revered basketball institution known for shaping top talents. 

More than just placement, they paved the way for a full scholarship for him, blending academic and athletic pursuits seamlessly.

While Dylan’s story is captivating, he is not Caribbean Exposure’s sole success story. 

In a span of merely six months, the organization has channeled seven Caribbean athletes into esteemed US institutions, manifesting their steadfast dedication to the dreams of young Caribbean players.

A mission beyond the game 

For Caribbean Exposure, it is not merely about placing athletes. It is a transformative quest, a mission to change the lives of players from the Caribbean, ensuring they have academic and athletic opportunities.
