Duke added even more firepower to its already-loaded incoming 2025 recruiting class Friday with Wolfeboro (N.H.) Brewster Academy four-star power forward Sebastian Wilkins committing to the Blue Devils and reclassifying from the 2026 class to the Class of 2025.
With Wilkins joining its recruiting class, Duke’s momentum continues to surge as the Blue Devils moved from No. 3 in the 247Sports Class Rankings before his commitment, to No. 1after his announcement on 247Sports’ YouTube channel.
Wilkins, ranked No. 32 overall in the 2026 class, chose Duke over finalist Maryland. The 6-foot-8, 215-pound New Hampshire native follows fellow New England standout and projected No. 1 NBA Draft pick Cooper Flagg in committing to the Blue Devils.
“Just how straight forward they were with me and their vision for me,” Wilkins said of why he committed to Duke. “How they could see me making a huge impact and belief in me. And just being honest with me through everything.”
Duke coach Jon Scheyer has quickly cemented his reputation as one of the nation’s top recruiters. Since taking over ahead of the 2022–23 season, he has delivered top-two freshman classes in each of the last three cycles — including No. 1 classes in 2022 and 2024.
“He’s getting someone who’s going to work for whatever he gets,” Wilkins said. “I don’t get anything given to me. I always work for everything. I’m just a hard worker. The talent’s going to show for that.”
