Davion Adkins, a four-star high school big man out of Texas, selected the next destination of his basketball career.

Adkins, the third-ranked center in the Class of 2026, committed to Kansas and head coach Bill Self. Adkins, who made his decision at halftime of Sunday’s Dynamic Prep-Notre Dame game on ESPN 2, chose the Jayhawks over Houston and Rutgers.

A 6-foot-9, 216-pound big man, Adkins played for Oak Cliff Faith Family Academy (Dallas, Texas) before he transferred to Profile Prep in Florida for the 2025-26 season.

According to a report by Adam Zagoria of ZagsBlog.com, Adkins had emergency surgery to repair a sports hernia on Saturday. He will miss a few weeks of the season as he recovers from the procedure.

Tay Kinney – who committed to the Jayhawks on Sept. 28 – was actively recruiting Adkins to Kansas, according to ZagsBlog.com. Kinney, an Atlanta native, is a five-star, top-ranked guard in the Class of 2026.
