North Carolina landed a massive recruiting win when five-star forward Caleb Wilson officially committed to the Tar Heels’ 2025 class. Ranked among the top three high school prospects in the nation, Wilson is a 6’9” athletic marvel known for his smooth ball-handling, elite shot-blocking, and ability to score from anywhere on the floor. His commitment gives UNC a cornerstone talent to build around as head coach Hubert Davis looks to return to Final Four contention.
Wilson’s announcement sent a wave of excitement through Tar Heel Nation, with fans and analysts hailing him as a future NBA lottery pick. “Chapel Hill feels like home,” Wilson said during his commitment speech. “Coach Davis believes in me, and I believe in the culture he’s building.”
Caleb starred for Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School in Atlanta, averaging 22.7 points, 11 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game in his senior season. His versatility makes him a matchup nightmare at both forward positions, and his basketball IQ is well beyond his age.
With Wilson’s arrival, along with a strong supporting class, North Carolina’s 2025 recruiting haul ranks among the top in the country. The Dean Dome will be buzzing with anticipation when this future star hits the hardwood.
