Del City's Brandon Garrison, an Oklahoma State signee, is named to McDonald's All American basketball team

Brandon Garrison’s growing resume now features one of the most prestigious titles in high school basketball.

The rosters for the 46th annual McDonald’s All American Game were released Tuesday on ESPN, and the Del City senior forward is one of 24 honorees. He will have the chance to compete on the West team alongside Bronny James on March 28 in Houston.

It's been a longtime goal for Garrison, who grew up watching McDonald's All American games on YouTube.

"I'd always see the people that they chose, and I was like, 'I want to do that one day," Garrison said. "My dream came true."

Del City coach Lenny Hatchett said the Eagles received the news soon after their Tuesday practice, so Garrison celebrated alongside his teammates.

“He was smiling from ear to ear, and his teammates were really excited for him,” Hatchett said. “That’s just the type of kid he is. He always appreciates his teammates, and his teammates definitely were excited for him.”

An Oklahoma State signee, Garrison is the 11th McDonald’s All American from Oklahoma and first since Bryce Thompson, the class of 2020 Tulsa Booker T. Washington star who plays for the Cowboys. The 6-foot-9 Garrison is a four-star recruit and the No. 1 class of 2023 recruit in the state, according to 247Sports Composite.

“It’s a huge, huge deal for our community, the school, being the first McDonald’s All-American at Del City High School,” Hatchett said.

As a sophomore, Garrison played a major role in leading the Class 6A Eagles to a state title, and they finished as Class 5A runners-up the next year. This season, through Del City’s first 13 matchups, he averaged 17.2 points, 11.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists despite dealing with a foot injury.

And his achievements reach far beyond Del City. During the past summer, Garrison won a gold medal with the U18 Team USA basketball team at the FIBA Americas Championship. Through Team USA and the NBPA Top 100 Camp, he already knows several of his fellow All Americans, including James.

Hatchett said Garrison’s experience with Team Griffin, former OU star Blake Griffin’s AAU organization, was also crucial to his summer development.

“He’s been able to really add on to his game every year and continue to keep getting better and stronger and understanding the game more,” Hatchett said. “I think as he understands the process and has been patient with it, good things have happened for him.”
