BREAKING NEWS: 5-Star Forward Caleb Wilson (6’9”) Commits to UNC — Tar Heels Secure Impact Superstar in 2025 Class
In a monumental recruiting win for Hubert Davis and the University of North Carolina, 5-star forward Caleb Wilson has officially committed to the Tar Heels, giving UNC a cornerstone player in the Class of 2025. The 6-foot-9 standout chose Carolina over other powerhouse programs, including Kentucky, Duke, and Georgia, signaling UNC’s resurgence as a dominant force on the recruiting trail.
Wilson, widely regarded as one of the top five prospects in the 2025 class, brings elite versatility, a high basketball IQ, and an advanced skill set that makes him a matchup nightmare. With a rare blend of size, fluid athleticism, and perimeter ability, he projects as a modern-day forward capable of impacting the game on both ends of the floor. His commitment immediately elevates UNC’s 2025 class into national prominence and marks a major step toward the Tar Heels’ pursuit of another national title.
“Chapel Hill just felt like home,” Wilson said in his announcement. “The tradition, the coaching staff, the fanbase — everything about UNC felt right. I believe in Coach Davis and his vision, and I’m excited to be a part of something special.”
Wilson’s game is tailor-made for today’s up-tempo, positionless style of basketball. Offensively, he’s a smooth scorer who can create off the dribble, knock down perimeter shots, and finish at the rim with authority. Defensively, his length and agility allow him to guard multiple positions, disrupt passing lanes, and protect the rim. He has drawn comparisons to former Tar Heel greats and current NBA stars for his unique all-around talent and work ethic.
Coach Hubert Davis praised Wilson’s decision, calling him a “program-changer.” “Caleb is the type of player that makes everyone around him better,” Davis said. “He’s unselfish, driven, and brings the kind of energy and leadership we value at Carolina. He’s going to thrive here.”
Wilson’s commitment could also spark momentum for UNC in the rest of the 2025 class. As one of the most visible and respected players in high school basketball, his decision could influence other top-tier recruits to consider Chapel Hill. Analysts already predict that UNC’s recruiting class could rise into the top 3 nationally if the staff capitalizes on Wilson’s pledge.
Beyond the hype, Wilson brings a strong academic record and a maturity that coaches and teammates rave about. With name, image, and likeness (NIL) opportunities on the rise, his decision to join one of college basketball’s bluebloods shows a commitment to both long-term development and legacy.
As UNC fans celebrate the addition of another potential one-and-done star, the future in Chapel Hill looks brighter than ever. With Caleb Wilson now on board, the Tar Heels are sending a clear message: they are ready to return to college basketball’s mountaintop — and stay there.
Caleb Wilson is Carolina-bound. And the rest of the nation is officially on notice.
