Duke gets 4-star recruit to commit after huge reclassifying decision image

Sebastian Wilkins was a top-30 recruit in the Class of 2026.

But the power forward has decided to head to campus a year early.

Wilkins committed Friday to Duke to play for the Blue Devils.

"It's a prestigious school," Wilkins told ZagsBlog. "Everyone knows what Duke is, so just being there felt great. I kind of enjoyed everything.”

It's huge news just a day after five-star recruit Dame Sarr also chose the Blue Devils.

Duke's incoming freshman class also includes Cameron and Cayden Boozer, along with Nik Khamenia.

Wilkins is 6-foot-8 out of Brewster Academy. His offer list also included, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Providence, Rutgers and more.

He's a Massachusetts native.

“My message to Duke fans is you’re getting someone who’s going to work hard every day and compete for the goal to win a National Championship," Wilkins told On3.
