Arkansas Lands Georgia’s Star Guard in Portal per Reports

Date:

The 6-foot-1 Wilkinson led Georgia with 17.4 points per game this season while starting 21 of 31 games. He spent one season at Georgia after playing his freshman year at Cal, where he earned the ACC’s Sixth Man of the Year for 2024-25. In 63 career games (35 starts), he has posted 16.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.

According to ESPN, Wilkinson received interest in the transfer portal from Kentucky, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and LSU, among others. With John Calipari’s Razorbacks, he will help fill the void left by SEC Player of the Year Darius Acuff, who is expected to be selected among the first 10 picks of the 2026 NBA Draft.

Wilkinson shot 35.7% from 3-point range for the Bulldogs while also averaging 2.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 31 games (21 starts). He totaled 79 triples along with 49 steals in his sophomore campaign, which ended with a 30-point showing (7-for-15 from deep) in a first-round NCAA Tournament loss to Saint Louis.
