Mya Wilson Commits to Ohio State, Leaving Iowa Behind

Top 2027 guard chooses Buckeyes over Hawkeyes, TCU, and Gophers

Commitment Details

Mya Wilson, a 6‑foot‑1 guard from Hill‑Murray School in Maplewood, Minnesota, announced her commitment to Ohio State on Wednesday, selecting the Buckeyes over Iowa, TCU and Minnesota.

The decision comes as the 2027 prospect sits at No. 44 in the national Rivals rankings and is listed as the top player in Minnesota, while 247Sports rates her as a five‑star recruit and the No. 44 overall prospect.

Wilson’s recruitment was highlighted by an official visit to Iowa in mid‑June, a trip that had been seen as a potential turning point for the Hawkeyes, but the final choice favored Ohio State.

The commitment marks a setback for Iowa’s women’s basketball program, which had been courting the Minnesota native as part of a broader effort to bolster its 2027 class.

Big Ten Implications

Iowa still holds hopes for other top‑rated prospects, including forwards Nation Williams, Sienna Williams and Destiny Manyawu, and already has a four‑star combo guard commit in Jada Seubert.

The Buckeyes, long‑standing members of the Big Ten, will welcome Wilson into a program that has been building momentum in recent recruiting cycles.
