5-Star SF Shelton Henderson Commits to Duke over Texas, Louisville, More

Shelton Henderson, a senior at Belair High School in Belair, Texas, has committed to the Duke Blue Devils.

The 5-star small forward had offers from Louisville, Texas, Texas Tech and Houston before deciding to become a Blue Devil.

"It has been my dream school since I started watching basketball," Henderson told ESPN's Paul Biancardi.

The 6'6" player is the fourth top-35 Duke commitment among the 2025 class.

"I chose Duke because they believe in me and they have such a great atmosphere and history," Henderson told Biancardi and Jeff Borzello. "It was easy to fall in love with their pipeline of sending people to the NBA. I think I could be one of the next to join and they could help me get there."

Henderson had a standout summer, earning a gold medal with USA Basketball at the FIBA U18 Americas Championship while averaging 8.0 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. He also impressed at the Nike Peach Jam, where he averaged 14.7 points and 4.6 rebounds, according to Biancardi and Borzello.

Joining fellow top prospects Cameron Boozer, Cayden Boozer, and Nik Khamenia, Duke's 2025 team will be one to watch next season.
