Brandon Ingram, a five-star prospect who attends Kinston (N.C.) High, announced on Monday that he has committed to Duke.

Ingram picked the Blue Devils over North Carolina and Kansas, among other programs.

The 6'9,'' 185-pounder is the No. 4 player in the class of 2015, according to the recruiting website Rivals.com.

This season he averaged 24.3 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 3.0 blocks while leading the Vikings to their fourth consecutive state championship.

Duke's 2015 recruiting class also includes five-star center Chase Jeter, five-star shooting guard Luke Kennard, three-star center Antonio Vrankovic and five-star point guard Derryck Thornton, who reclassified from the class of 2016.

There are now three players ranked in the top 10 of the Rivals150 who have yet to make verbal commitments: Small forward Jaylen Brown (3), power forward Cheick Diallo (5) and center Thon Maker (9).
