Lake Travis football TE with pet named Zion Williamson commits to 'dream school' Duke

Gage Prebenda-Wilson, a tight end from Lake Travis High School, has committed to Duke University, his dream school, for the upcoming football season. The 6-foot-3, 225-pound senior, who was rated a three-star recruit by Rivals/On3, named his pet dog after former Duke star forward Zion Williamson. Prebenda-Wilson had previously committed to Columbia University but chose Duke due to the bigger conference and the school's reputation for producing NFL-ready players while providing a top-notch education.

He was courted by Duke's tight ends coach Justin Watts and Jared Reid, the program's director of scouting for the offense, after impressing at a prospect camp at Davidson College. Prebenda-Wilson toured Duke's campus and watched the team defeat Stanford 35-7, which sealed his decision. He is expected to play a significant role in Duke's offense, where he has been a reliable target for Lake Travis, recording 16 catches for 187 yards and a touchdown this season. Prebenda-Wilson plans to major in finance and pre-medicine.
