The 6'5" athlete is ranked No.34 in the country and is the 12th-best player at his position in the Class of 2025, as per On3. He is also the best overall recruit from the state of New York. He committed to the Syracuse Orange in November last year.

Kiyan Anthony celebrates with his mother, La La Anthony, after winning MVP at The Throne national championship

The four-star shooting guard from the Class of 2025, Kiyan Anthony, led his team to The Throne championship last month. The Crusaders edged out the Eagles in the championship game, 71-68, to win the tournament.

Anthony was named MVP of the title game after dropping 25 points on 60% shooting from the field and 33% from beyond the three-point line, as per BCK Online.

After the game, the four-star prospect shared a heartwarming moment with his mother, La La Anthony, by putting a crown on her head. The video was shared on Twitter by Recruit Report.

Anthony is a top prospect from the Class of 2025 and received offers from top schools such as Florida State, USC, Providence, Michigan, Ohio State, Tennessee, Indiana, and Rutgers. However, he chose his father's alma mater, the Syracuse Orange, over these schools.

Syracuse's Class of 2025 is ranked No.13 in the country, as per 247Sports. The program has landed four athletes so far. Anthony will hope to lead the Orange to the NCAA title, just like his father did in 2003.
