The announcement, made just minutes ago via Wilkerson’s social media platforms and confirmed by multiple sources close to the program, marks a major win for Head Coach Mark Pope and his staff, who edged out fierce competition from Big Ten powerhouse Indiana and SEC rival Auburn.
Wilkerson, a 6’5” shooting guard out of Oak Hill Academy (VA), has been nothing short of sensational on the prep circuit this past year. Averaging 27.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game, the explosive scorer has quickly become a household name among scouts, with his blend of athleticism, deep shooting range, and court vision drawing comparisons to NBA All-Stars. His decision comes after a whirlwind recruiting saga that saw official visits, last-minute pitches, and relentless fan speculation.
