11/20/2025 2:00:00 PM | Men's Basketball
DURHAM, N.C. - Duke men's basketball head coach Jon Scheyer announced the signing of three players in the Blue Devils' 2026 recruiting class during the NCAA early signing period.
The three-player group includes five-star prospects Cameron Williams, the No. 3 overall recruit and top-ranked power forward from St. Mary's High School in Phoenix, and Bryson Howard, the No. 12 overall prospect and No. 5 small forward from Heritage High School in Frisco, Texas, along with four-star recruit Maxime Meyer, ranked 94th overall and 11th among centers nationally from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.
Currently ranked as the fourth-best recruiting class in the country through the early signing period, according to 247Sports, Scheyer has signed a top-three class in each of his 12 seasons on the Duke coaching staff with seven No. 1 classes during that stretch, including in 2022, 2024 and 2025. This represents the third straight recruiting cycle in which Scheyer has secured a top-three prospect.
Cameron Williams - 7-0, 210 - St. Mary's HS - Phoenix, Arizona
"We can't wait to welcome Cameron Williams to The Brotherhood," said Scheyer. "Cam possesses a unique set of tools you just don't find very often. At 7-feet with the ability to guard one through five, elite shooting range, ball-handling ability, and connective playmaking. Cam impacts the game in so many ways, but what excites us most is how coachable and intelligent he is. He genuinely wants to get better, win, and he has an unbelievable ceiling. Bringing in a player with his size, versatility, skill, and mindset is a huge addition for us. Cam's future is as bright as anyone's in the country, and we can't wait to get to work and help him maximize every bit of his potential at Duke."
Bryson Howard - 6-5, 190 - Heritage HS - Dallas, Texas
"We're really excited to welcome Bryson Howard to Duke," said Scheyer. "Bryson is one of the premier shooters in the country, but what makes him special is how complete his game is. He can play on and off the ball, defend multiple positions at a high level, and he's an absolute competitor. That competitiveness, combined with his scoring and shooting ability, is going to translate well to the college game. He's a tremendous teammate - unselfish, all about winning, and a willingness to do whatever it takes. He can guard the opposing team's best player regardless of position, he will crash the boards, and hit big shots. We love that versatility and competitive spirit, and can't wait to see Bryson bring that same fire and impact to Duke."
Maxime Meyer - 7-1, 215 - IMG Academy - Toronto, Canada
"We're thrilled to welcome Maxime to Duke," said Scheyer. "Max's development over the past few years has been impressive, and we believe his ceiling is as high as anyone's in this class. Max checks every box we look for at Duke: elite character, competitiveness, and an outstanding basketball IQ. Max is one of the premier rim protectors in the country, can run the floor, and has great passing instincts. What excites us most is that he's still getting better... and quickly. Max embraces winning, and we're fired up to get him on campus. He's a big-time addition to The Brotherhood."
