UNC Commit Caleb Wilson Shines with 28-Point Performance at Jordan Brand Classic
Future UNC basketball standout Caleb Wilson put on a show at the Jordan Brand Classic, dropping a game-high 28 points to further cement the growing excitement around his upcoming arrival in Chapel Hill.
Wilson, a five-star forward out of Holy Innocents Episcopal School (Ga.), committed to head coach Hubert Davis and the Tar Heels in late January, choosing North Carolina over top programs like Kentucky, Ohio State, and Tennessee. His combination of size, skill, and grit has earned him the No. 6 overall spot in the 247Sports 2025 Composite rankings — and Friday night’s performance only added fuel to the hype.
At 6-foot-9 and 205 pounds, Wilson was nearly unstoppable during the prestigious prep showcase in Washington, D.C., going an ultra-efficient 13-for-14 from the field. He added six rebounds, two assists, a steal, and a block while leading Team Air to a 141–129 win — a game that featured a 19-point comeback and a massive 90-point second half, much of which was sparked by Wilson’s two-way dominance.
His performance serves as another reason for UNC fans to be excited about the future. Wilson headlines a 2025 Tar Heels recruiting class currently ranked No. 9 in the nation and No. 4 in the ACC, according to 247Sports. He’ll join fellow incoming freshmen Isaiah Denis (a four-star guard from Davidson Day School in North Carolina) and Derek Dixon (a four-star guard from Gonzaga College High School in D.C.) on campus this summer.
