4-star center cuts his OV list in half but keeps Kansas on the calendar

A month after announcing his scheduled official visits, a four-star center from the class of 2026 has narrowed down the list to just three teams.

Just over a month ago, four-star prospect Davion Adkins announced that he would take six official visits: Auburn, Houston, Indiana, Kansas, Rutgers, and UCLA. Now, that list has been cut in half.

Luckily for the Kansas Jayhawks, Bill Self and his team are still on Adkins' calendar, alongside the Houston Cougars and Rutgers Scarlet Knights.

Adkins is a four-star center in the class of 2026, making him the No. 2 center in the recruiting cycle and the No. 6 overall player out of the state of Florida. He already has 16 offers from Division I programs.

Davion Adkins official visit schedule

  • Rutgers Scarlet Knights - Sept. 18
  • Kansas Jayhawks - Sept. 26
  • Houston Cougars - Oct. 10

With just three official visits still on the table, the pressure is stronger than ever for Self to impress the young center when he comes to Lawrence.

So far, Self and the Jayhawks have zero commits from the class of 2026, but Kansas does have a 7-foot freshman center on the roster in Paul Mbiya. Kansas also currently has 6-foot-9 Flory Bidunga and 6-foot-10 Bryson Tiller in its lineup.

Adkins is already 6-foot-9 and has a jaw-dropping wingspan of 7-foot-2 and a standing vertical nearly nine feet. Beyond his physical measurables, he is a dynamic player on the court.

Davion Adkins high school stats

  • 18.3 points per game
  • 6.6 rebounds per game
  • 2.3 blocks per game

Simply put, Adkins is a beast on both sides of the court. However, the one downside of his game is that his defensive rebounding is far from perfect. Despite being taller than just about everyone he lines up against, just 3.8 of his 6.6 rebounds per game were off the defensive glass.

If Adkins can shore up his dominance on the defensive end of the court, leaning into his size to do so, he will be an unstoppable force for whichever collegiate program lands his commitment.
