BREAKING: No. 1 Big Man Caleb Wilson Commits to UNC Tar Heels
In a monumental recruiting win for the North Carolina Tar Heels, the nation’s No. 1-ranked big man, Caleb Wilson, has officially committed to UNC. The 6-foot-10 five-star forward made the announcement earlier today, sending waves of excitement through Chapel Hill and across the college basketball landscape.
Wilson, a dominant presence on both ends of the court, chose UNC over a list of powerhouse programs including Kentucky, Duke, and Kansas. Known for his elite versatility, high basketball IQ, and rim protection, Wilson is widely regarded as one of the most polished prospects in the 2025 recruiting class. His commitment instantly boosts the Tar Heels’ national profile and places them firmly in contention for one of the top recruiting classes in the country.
“I’m proud to announce that I’m committing to the University of North Carolina,” Wilson said during a livestreamed announcement. “I love the tradition, the fans, the coaching staff—everything about UNC just feels like home. I’m ready to compete for championships and continue the legacy.”
UNC head coach Hubert Davis, entering his fourth season at the helm, called Wilson a “game-changer” and “the type of student-athlete who represents what Carolina Basketball is all about.” Wilson’s commitment is a major statement that the Tar Heels are not only rebuilding but reloading with top-tier talent.
Fans flooded social media with celebration, welcoming Wilson with open arms. The phrase “Welcome to UNC, Caleb – LET’S GO HEELS!” has already gone viral.
With Wilson’s commitment, the Tar Heels now have a centerpiece to build around for the future—a player who could potentially follow in the footsteps of UNC legends and carve his own chapter in Carolina blue.
