INDIANAPOLIS - Braylon Mullins has earned the top individual award in Indiana high school boys' basketball.

The 6'6" Greenfield-Central guard has been named IndyStar Indiana Mr. Basketball for 2025 in online voting of media and boys’ varsity coaches conducted by the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association and All-Star game director Mike Broughton. 

The name should sound familiar locally, as Mullins and his Greenfield-Central Cougars played Lawrenceburg, Franklin County, and Rushville multiple times over the past four years, and East Central once, just last season.
