Four-star point guard recruit Acaden Lewis has committed to Kentucky, he announced on Saturday in a livestream with On3.

Lewis is ranked as the No. 30 overall prospect and No. 5 point guard in the Class of 2025, according to On3 Industry Rankings.

He chose to join the Wildcats over offers from other programs including Duke, UConn, UNC, Syracuse, Michigan, Tennessee, Auburn, Georgetown and UVA, per On3's Joe Tipton.

Lewis is currently a senior at Sidwell Friends School in Washington, DC. He said he will wear No. 55 at Kentucky in honor of former NBA guard Jason Williams, per Tipton.

Lewis told ESPN's Jeff Borzello and Paul Biancardi that he had made the decision to join Kentucky in part because he would have the opportunity to "play a priority role early as their point guards are all leaving" after players like Rob Dillingham left for the 2024 NBA draft.

"I love the system they run, it's fast-paced and allows guards to make reads and run the team, and allows freedom while still having rules," Lewis told ESPN.

Lewis' commitment marks the latest recruiting success for Mark Pope, and could potentially help Kentucky compete with other programs including the back-to-back defending national champions at UConn and the No. 1 recruiting class headlined by Cooper Flagg at Duke.

Pope has also received commitments from two other four-star players in shooting guard Jasper Johnson and center Malachi Moreno to mark three top-30 prospects heading into Kentucky's 2025 class.

The Wildcats are also reportedly in the running for five-star power forward Caleb Wilson, who is ranked as the No. 6 overall recruit in the Class of 2025 by On3.

After committing to Kentucky in September, Johnson made a public pitch for Wilson to join the Wildcats:

Wilson then brought Lewis into the conversation:

Now Lewis has pledged to join the Wildcats, which Pope could be hoping will prove to be the difference in a recruiting battle for Wilson.

Wilson's other top choices are UNC, Auburn, Duke, Tennessee, Georgia Tech, UCF, USC, Oregon, Arkansas, Ohio State, and Alabama. He is expected to make a decision before 2025, per KSR's Zack Geoghegan.
