5-star SG Caleb Holt down to 5 schools

Five-star shooting guard Caleb Holt is down to five schools, his agency Klutch Sports tells Rivals. Moving forward, the 6-foot-5 senior out of Prolific Prep (FL) will consider Alabama, Arizona, Houston, Kentucky, and Providence. He has visited each of his finalists but does not yet have a commitment date.

Ole Miss and Arkansas are the two programs that previously hosted Holt on campus but are no longer in the mix. He also received offers from schools like Auburn, Baylor, UConn, North Carolina, Louisville, Kansas, and others.

Holt, a native of Huntsville, Alabama, is the No. 3 overall player in the 2026 class, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking — the average of all three recruiting media companies (Rivals, ESPN, 247Sports). He’s also No. 1 ranked shooting guard.

Holt a standout at USA Basketball U19 Training Camp

According to Rivals’ Jamie Shaw, Holt was a standout at the USA Basketball U19 Training Camp this summer prior to making the final roster.

5-Star SG Caleb Holt is the ultimate glue guy. Maybe he does not stand out in any one way, but he elevates the floor of whatever team he is on. He is an instinctive defender, guarding multiple positions. He is comfortable as a secondary ball handler and he moves the ball. How does he consistently score will be next steps for him, but he consistently has found some sorts of production.

What Holt is looking for in a school

In a previous interview with Rivals, Holt discussed what he wants in his future college program. 

“I’d say the biggest thing is trust and the relationship with the head coach. Because if you don’t have that, that’s who you’re going to play there for. So if I can’t go talk to my coach comfortably about anything then I know it’s not for me. Somewhere I’m really comfortable just communicating with the coach, communicating, with the assistant coaches, whichever staff feels more like home to me. I’m more of a people person.”
