Top-5 Guard Caleb Holt Commits to Arizona for 2026

A summer under Tommy Lloyd with USA Basketball’s U19 team built trust that drove his decision.

Overview

  • Holt announced his commitment on ESPN’s First Take on March 10, selecting the Wildcats on live television.
  • He chose Arizona over finalists Alabama, Kentucky, Houston and Providence after a fall recruitment that included multiple official visits.
  • Widely ranked No. 4 nationally in 2026 and the No. 1 shooting guard, the 6-foot-5 Prolific Prep standout hails from Alabama.
  • He becomes Arizona’s second pledge in the 2026 class with four-star wing Cameron Holmes and is Lloyd’s highest-ranked recruit since taking over in Tucson.
  • A three-time USA Basketball gold medalist and 2025 Adidas Eurocamp MVP, Holt is viewed by analysts as an immediate-impact addition with roster minutes likely opening next season.
