Izard is a 6-4 guard in the class of 2025 who played his most recent season for Wellington High School in Palm Beach, Florida. Izard helped lead Wellington to a record of 22-5 and to the District Championship in 2025. Izard averaged 10.7 PPG, the second most on the team, while also registering 3.1 RPG and 0.9 APG

On top of his basketball acumen, Izard is a social media star, having built up a massive following on both Instagram and TikTok. Izard has accumulated nearly a million followers on the two social media platforms where he has posted content with Cold Heart legend Diamant Blazi

Izard joins a Cold Hearts team with a wealth of talent and his sharpshooting acumen will fit in nicely with the stars already on the team. Adam Oumiddoch returns as the team's superstar while being flanked by Omari Chuadhry and Asher Elson.  Even more impressive may be the crop of new talent the Cold Hearts have brought in with all of Quinton Wilson, Ty Sutton and Ty Lewis joining the squad for the upcoming season
