Five-star recruit Ziaire Williams will be playing college basketball close to home next season.

The California native announced his commitment to Stanford on social media Sunday.

Williams is ranked seventh on the ESPN 100 for 2020 and projected to be a top-five pick in next year's NBA draft, according to ESPN's Jonathan Givony.

The 6-foot-8 forward spent this past season at Sierra Canyon, where he played alongside fellow five-star recruit B.J. Boston, as well as with Bronny James and Zaire Wade.

Williams was a member of Team USA's gold medal-winning squad at last year's FIBA U19 World Cup and was named a McDonald's All-American in January.

Stanford edged out Pac-12 foes Arizona, USC, UCLA, and Oregon, as well as North Carolina for Williams' commitment. The program's 2020 recruiting class also includes four-star commit Noah Taitz.

The Cardinal posted a 20-12 overall record in 2019-20, which included a 9-9 mark in Pac-12 play.
