Ohio State has made the list of three finalists to sign five-star 2025 basketball prospect Caleb Wilson.
A 6-foot-9, 205-pound power forward from Atlanta Holy Innocents Episcopal School, Wilson will pick from North Carolina, Kentucky and the Buckeyes. According to a report from On3.com, he will announce his choice Jan. 23.
Wilson is the No. 8 national prospect in the 2025 class according to 247Sports.com and the No. 5 player in the 247Sports composite.
During the fall, Wilson took visits to Tennessee, UCF, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, USC, Stanford, Georgia, North Carolina and Ohio State. At the end of July, Caleb Wilson announced a list of his top 12 schools: Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Duke, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio State, Oregon, Tennessee, UCF, and USC.
That list was cut to five schools on Nov. 18: the three current finalists, Tennessee and Central Florida.
The Buckeyes have two signees for 2025: Dorian Jones and Amare Bynum, both four-star prospects. Jones is a guard from Richmond Heights, Ohio, and Bynum a power forward from Branson (Missouri) Link Academy. Their class is ranked No. 44 nationally at 247Sports, with Jones at No. 68 in the class and Bynum at 100 but poised to rise when the rankings refresh after a strong start to his season.
