Duke Secures Fifth 2025 Basketball Commitment With Wilkins Reclassification

Sebastian Wilkins, a highly regarded four-star power forward from Brewster Academy, has committed to Duke University and reclassified from the 2026 to the 2025 class to join the Blue Devils this fall. Standing 6-foot-8 with a versatile skill set, Wilkins is known for his ability to score both inside and from long range, defend multiple positions, and bring athleticism and length to the team. His commitment follows Duke's recent recruiting successes, including the addition of five-star Italian guard Dame Sarr, and complements an incoming class featuring high-profile recruits like Cameron and Cayden Boozer and Nikolas Khamenia. Wilkins cited Duke as his dream school, influenced by memories of watching Zion Williamson and a strong relationship built with coach Jon Scheyer. Analysts praise his rapid development on both ends of the floor and expect him to evolve into a significant two-way contributor. Wilkins' decision strengthens Duke's roster depth and versatility as the team aims for another Final Four run under Scheyer.
