Jeremiah Wilkinson committed to Arkansas this week, giving John Calipari another scoring guard as the Razorbacks keep working through the transfer portal. Wilkinson arrived after a season at Georgia in which he averaged 17.4 points per game in 31 games, with 21 starts.
He also averaged 2.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.6 steals per game for Georgia while shooting 41% from the field and 35.7% from three-point range. The transfer ranking system listed Wilkinson as the No. 40 overall player after he entered the portal this year, a jump from the No. 246 overall prospect designation he carried in the 2024 cycle.
Wilkinson began his college career at Cal, where he averaged 15.1 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game as a freshman in 2024-25 while starting 14 of 32 games. Before college, he played at Atlanta's The Skill Factory and was a three-star prospect in high school. The move gives Arkansas a player who has already shown he can score in two different programs and at two different stops in the same brief college career.
Arkansas has added two players from the transfer portal since the window opened last week, and Wilkinson joined after the Razorbacks also secured a commitment from former Furman forward Cooper Bowser. Bowser averaged 13.8 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game last season, shot 76.6% from the field and helped Furman reach the NCAA Tournament as a junior before becoming Calipari's first transfer addition on Tuesday.
The size of Wilkinson's production makes him more than a depth pickup for Arkansas. He was one of Georgia's primary offensive options last season, and his rise in the transfer rankings shows how quickly a proven scorer can become one of the most sought-after players in the market once he enters the portal. For Calipari, the commitment adds another experienced piece to a roster still taking shape.
