Nate Ament, a top 2025 Duke basketball recruit, has visited Kentucky and the Blue Devils on official business in the last five weeks. The five-star forward from Highland School (Va.) is now preparing to visit Arkansas this weekend, with an April 1 decision date in mind.

The first-year Razorbacks head coach John Calipari and his staff may be the last to welcome Ament before the 18-year-old concludes his recruitment, Rivals Arkansas recruiting insider Jackson Collier pointed out Tuesday afternoon after initially revealing the planned trip to Fayetteville.

The final five of Duke, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisville, and Tennessee were announced by Ament last week.

On the 247Sports 2025 Composite, he presently ranks No. 1 in Virginia, No. 4 overall, and No. 2 among power forwards.

“Ament needs to get stronger, keep getting more aggressive, and polish all aspects of his skill set, but all the tools are in place for him to evolve into a skilled and smooth 6-foot-9-plus perimeter forward who is a true three-range scoring threat.” Duke basketball head coach Jon Scheyer and his colleagues already boast the No. 1-ranked 2025 recruiting haul, which includes four five-star signees. This is what 247Sports’ Adam Finkelstein wrote in his assessment of the coveted talent.
