5-star center Iwuchukwu commits to USC

Vaunted 2022 recruit Vince Iwuchukwu has committed to USC, the 7-foot, 215-pound center told The Athletic's Shams Charania on Instagram Live on Friday.

Iwuchukwu, who plays for Florida's Montverde Academy, chose the Trojans from a final shortlist that also included UCLA, Texas, Baylor, and Kansas.

The Texas native is currently ranked third among centers and 11th overall on the 2022 ESPN 100.

Iwuchukwu joins a USC recruit class that already features four-star center Kijani Wright - ESPN's No. 37 prospect - and four-star small forward Oziyah Sellers.
