Five-star class of 2026 prospect Cameron Williams is headed to Duke.
The 6-foot-11 power forward out of St. Mary’s (AZ) and the Compton Magic Adidas 3SSB AAU program chose the Blue Devils over Arizona and Texas. He is the top-ranked power forward and No. 4-ranked overall player in the Class of 2026, per 247Sports.com.
“I will be taking my talents to the University of Duke,” he said on 247Sports.com. “I feel like the coaching staff truly believes in me. I feel like they see me going there and producing a lot, having a big role, and it’s been a childhood since I was little….always playing for Duke.
“I hope to bring a national championship to Duke.”
Williams joins five-star small forward Bryson Howard and four-star big man Maxime Meyer in Duke’s 2026 class.
At 6-foot-11, Williams is one of the most versatile defenders in the class. He’s athletic enough to switch onto guards, and his long arms make him an elite rim protector. His 2.6 blocks per game ranks third on the Adidas circuit, and Williams has added 15.4 points and 7.3 rebounds per game to supplement his defensive prowess.

He was able to attend NBPA Top 100 camp in June and learned many valuable lessons. But one stood out amongst the rest from NBA players.
“Just be you,” Williams said. “A lot of people who get what they want out of this game, they like tend to change. You know, get money or whatever. So just stay true to yourself and your goals and everything will be fine.”
