Prolific Prep, Florida – Four-star power forward Davion Adkins has revealed his top six schools as he approaches his college commitment. The highly regarded prospect, ranked as the No. 36 player in the nation for the class of 2026 according to Rivals, has listed UCLA, Auburn, Indiana, Houston, Kansas, and Rutgers as his primary choices. An official visit to Indiana is scheduled for the weekend of September 13, which may significantly shape his decision.
During the recently concluded spring and summer season, Adkins showcased his talents playing for Southern Assault on the Adidas 3SSB Circuit. He averaged an impressive 14.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game while demonstrating remarkable efficiency with a shooting percentage of 58.5% from the field and 77.6% from the free-throw line. However, he did experience challenges with three-point shooting, hitting only 1 out of 15 attempts.
In evaluating his performance, On3’s Jamie Shaw noted Adkins’ significant presence as a rim protector at the NBPA Top-100 camp. Standing at 6-foot-8 with a remarkable 7-foot-2 wingspan, Adkins has been described as a bouncy vertical athlete and a major lob threat, capable of delivering emphatic finishes on the court. While he is effective as a finisher, there are areas he needs to work on, such as improving his playmaking skills and shooting touch.
Adkins further enhanced his profile at the NBPA Top-100 camp, where he averaged 11.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.3 blocks per game, shooting 54.8% from the field. His solid performances have attracted attention from college programs, leading to an offer from Mick Cronin and the UCLA Bruins shortly after the summer session ended in late June.
247Sports Director of Scouting Adam Finkelstein emphasized that Adkins is among the most naturally talented prospects in the 2026 class, although he has yet to fully develop consistent footwork in the paint. His defensive capabilities are noteworthy, as he has the potential to be an impactful rebounder and rim protector when fully engaged.
Since receiving an offer from Indiana in May, Adkins has maintained regular communication with their coaching staff. Indiana’s basketball program currently has a commitment from 2026 3-star guard Prince-Alexander Moody and is actively seeking to strengthen its roster with top-tier talent. Adkins is considered one of the top prospects on the Tier 1 recruiting board for Indiana’s 2026 class, underscoring his potential value to any program he ultimately chooses.
As Adkins prepares for his official visit, fans and college basketball enthusiasts are eager to see where he will decide to continue his career. The commitment of Adkins could have significant implications for the recruiting landscape in college basketball.
