Our Alumni Are Playing in the NBA
The highest proof of any program's caliber is where its athletes end up. Two FCP alumni are currently playing professional basketball at the highest level:
Sean East II
Professional Basketball — NBA
A former FCP Spartan who developed his game on the Emerald Coast and earned his way into the highest level of professional basketball. Sean's journey is proof of what's possible when talent meets the right environment.
Nathan Mariano
Professional Basketball — NBA
Nathan came through the FCP program and turned his development into a professional career. His path from prep basketball to the NBA is a benchmark for every athlete who trains in Fort Walton Beach.
Beyond the NBA, FCP alumni compete at D1, D2, D3, NAIA, and JUCO programs across the country. View our full commitments board →

How FCP Gets Athletes Recruited

Game Film & Recruiting Packages
Games and training sessions are filmed at the Spartan Training Center. Coaches help athletes identify and present the footage that best represents their game to programs at the right level.
National Tournament & Circuit Exposure
FCP competes on SEHAL, PHSBA, Grind Session, and SIAA — circuits with active college coach attendance. FCP also hosts the National Prep Tournament in Fort Walton Beach, which draws programs from across the country.
