    Mark Williams, the 7-foot Class of 2020 center from IMG Academy (FL), committed to Duke on Friday.

    The No. 5 center in the class per 247Sports.com, he also considered Michigan and UCLA.

    “I have decided to be a Duke Blue Devil. Go Duke,” he said in this video. “Some of my goals at Duke are to win a national championship and have one of the best freshman seasons ever.”

    Stewart joins points guards Jeremy Roach and D.J. Steward, shooting guard Jalen Johnson, small forward Henry Coleman and power forward Jaemyn Brakefield in Duke’s 2020 class, now ranked No. 1 by 247Sports.com.

    “Duke is getting not only a fantastic basketball player, but a better person,” IMG coach Sean McAloon said. “He has the ability to impact both ends of the floor in the paint, but as well offensively step away and make shots.”
