The 6-foot-9, 205-pound Wilson tallied 22 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists, and six blocks in the 94-38 lopsided victory over the Hebron Christian School Lions on Wednesday night. He and the Golden Bears improved to 25-4 overall this season.

They square off against the Mount Paran Christian School Eagles (20-13) at 7 p.m. ET Friday for a chance to play for a state title.

Checking in at No. 6 overall on the 247Sports 2025 Composite, Caleb Wilson is a consensus five-star prospect and the highest-ranked member of Hubert Davis & Co.'s three-deep UNC basketball recruiting haul.

He committed to the Tar Heels in late January and has since received the coveted distinction as a 2025 McDonald's All American.
