Five-star wing Bryson Howard (Class of 2026, 6′5, Heritage HS, Frisco TX) has announced his commitment to Duke, selecting the Blue Devils from a final group that included Kentucky and North Carolina.
Howard’s decision gives Duke one of the most coveted wings in the class—his size, shooting range, and athletic profile already project at the highest levels. On offense, he stretches the floor with a confident three-point shot, attacks downhill, absorbs contact, and finishes strong above the rim. Defensively, his length and mobility allow him to guard multiple positions and impact the game without needing the ball in his hands.
With Howard’s commitment, Duke strengthens its 2026 class and adds another cornerstone perimeter piece capable of influencing the program’s trajectory. Expect him to challenge for early minutes while his skills continue to develop at the collegiate level.
