The 6-foot-1 point guard averaged nearly 18 points per game and over six assists as a junior at Bellevue West High School in his home state of Nebraska. The future Badgers PG was also part of a miraculous comeback to take home a state championship in 2019.

Here is a piece from our BadgersWire scouting report of Hepburn:
One of the most impressive aspects of the point guard’s offensive game is his ability to make difficult outlet passes look easy. Hepburn often starts the break with a perfect 40-foot lob pass that quickly led to a layup. The 6-1 point guard also is excellent without the basketball, and knows how to cut and create space in order to put himself in positive situations offensively. He has the strength to finish through contact at the rim, and is certainly not somebody you should worry about being thrown off by the physicality of the college game. His change of pace ability is equally as impressive. Despite not wowing you with blazing speed, Hepburn beats defenders with footwork and the ability to catch an opposing player off balance. He has a tight handle and an already solid step-back move off the dribble. Hepburn also creates space with a nasty hesitation dribble.
Hepburn is going to be an excellent piece for Wisconsin in an already stacked class of 2021. A true two-way point guard, Hepburn is unafraid to play physical basketball. The crafty guard is somebody that should make Badger fans excited for the future.
