The Duke basketball program has sealed its first commitment from a member of the 2026 recruiting class, as 5-star forward Bryson Howard has committed to play for the Blue Devils. Howard chose Duke over North Carolina and Kentucky. Duke head coach Jon Scheyer and his staff were rumored to potentially be the frontrunners for the elite wing's services, but his ultimate commitment snuck up on fans out of nowhere. On October 20th, it was reported that Howard would be announcing his commitment between the Blue Devils, Tar Heels, and Wildcats on October 21st. Just hours later, Howard picked up a crystal ball prediction to Duke.
