About this episode

Jeremiah Wilkinson discusses his journey in basketball and his role at Arkansas.

A part of a series of exclusive interviews with men's basketball's newest arrivals, Matt Zimmerman sits down with veteran guard Jeremiah Wilkinson to discuss the journey that has taken him from Atlanta to California, back to the SEC, and now to Arkansas. After earning All-Freshman honors at Cal and proving himself as one of the conference's most dynamic scorers at Georgia, Wilkinson reflects on the experiences that shaped him as both a player and a leader. He opens up about the confidence that fuels his game, the countless hours spent perfecting his shot, and why his college experience gives him a unique opportunity to help guide Arkansas' talented freshman class. Wilkinson also talks about the importance of family, the support system that has followed him across the country, and what convinced him to commit to Arkansas before ever stepping foot on campus. From his competitive edge and scoring mentality to his excitement for playing in front of a packed Bud Walton Arena, the conversation gives Razorback fans an inside look at one of the most experienced and explosive newcomers on the roster—and a player determined to do whatever it takes to help Arkansas win.
