Tyrese Proctor will reclassify into the 2022 class and play for Duke next season, announced the school on Thursday.

Proctor originally committed to the Blue Devils as part of the class of 2023.

"I'm ready to step up and face a new challenge where I maximize my development as a player and continue to grow on and off the court. Waiting a year to put on that Duke jersey was too long," announced Proctor in a statement.

Proctor represents the seventh commitment for the Blue Devils in the 2022 class. They already were ranked at the No. 1 recruiting class in the country prior to Proctor's reclassification.
