Top-50 Big Man Davion Adkins Commits to Kansas, Extending 2026 Recruiting Surge

A strong connection with Bill Self plus September campus visits shaped the choice, with a three- to four-week recovery expected after sports hernia surgery.

Overview

  • The Prolific Prep senior announced his pledge on ESPN2 on Sunday, becoming Kansas’ fourth commitment in eight days.
  • Adkins chose the Jayhawks over Houston and Rutgers following visits to each program last month.
  • Rankings place him as high as No. 24 nationally and top four at power forward by Rivals, with 247Sports Composite listing him No. 30 overall.
  • The 6-foot-9 rim protector owns a 7-foot-2 wingspan and projects as a lob threat with developing perimeter range, according to ESPN scouting.
  • Kansas’ recent run also includes five-star guard Taylen Kinney, four-star wing Trent Perry and 2027 five-star Javon Bardwell.
