In one of the biggest recruiting moments of the year, Duke basketball has landed a game-changing commitment from Jeremiah Walker, a five-star forward widely considered one of the top three players in the class of 2025. The 6-foot-9 superstar out of Los Angeles, California made his decision public on Friday afternoon, choosing Duke over powerhouse programs like Kentucky, Kansas, and North Carolina.

Walker’s commitment instantly shakes up the college basketball recruiting landscape, giving the Blue Devils yet another elite talent to build their future around. Known for his explosive athleticism, high basketball IQ, and ability to dominate both ends of the floor, Walker is projected to be a one-and-done lottery pick and a program-defining player.

“This is a dream come true,” Walker said during his announcement. “Duke has always been that school I looked up to growing up — the brotherhood, the fans, the tradition, it’s unmatched.”

When asked what led him to choose the Blue Devils, Walker didn’t hesitate to share the two main reasons for his decision. First, he pointed to Duke’s championship culture and the way the program consistently competes at the highest level. “They know how to win,” he said. “That kind of winning environment is exactly what I need to elevate my game and prepare for the next level.”

Second, Walker emphasized the impact of head coach Jon Scheyer, who has continued to carry the legacy of Duke basketball following Coach K’s retirement. “Coach Scheyer believes in me,” Walker said. “He’s shown me the blueprint — how I’ll fit in, how I’ll grow, and how he’ll push me to become the best version of myself. That meant a lot.”

Walker’s commitment marks a massive boost for Duke’s 2025 recruiting class, which now moves into the top-tier nationally with his addition. Recruiting analysts have raved about Walker’s rare combination of size, skill, and versatility. He’s a force in transition, can knock down the three, handle the ball like a guard, and guard multiple positions. Simply put — he’s the kind of player that changes the trajectory of a season.

“Duke just got a future NBA star,” one scout said. “Walker is a program-changer.”

Fans across Blue Devil Nation reacted with excitement across social media, with hashtags like #WalkerToDuke and #DukeBrotherhood trending within hours of the announcement.

For Coach Scheyer and his staff, this is not just a win — it’s a statement. Landing a talent like Jeremiah Walker reaffirms Duke’s place among the elite and keeps the Blue Devils at the forefront of college basketball’s future.

With Walker now committed, all eyes turn to how Duke builds around him — but one thing is already clear: the Blue Devils just got a whole lot scarier.
