Fri Jan 03 01:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Bryce James, LeBron’s Younger Son, Commits to University of Arizona
**Tucson, AZ –** Bryce James, the younger son of NBA superstar LeBron James, has committed to play college basketball for the University of Arizona Wildcats, the 17-year-old announced on Instagram. The four-star recruit, ranked by ESPN, will join the Wildcats’ 2025 class.
James, a 6-foot-4 small forward, averaged 6.9 points and 2.2 rebounds in 14 games last year playing for his father’s Strive for Greatness program. He chose Arizona over offers from Ohio State and Duquesne. His commitment follows that of top prospect Dwayne Aristode, and the Wildcats are reportedly pursuing several other highly-ranked players.
LeBron James, currently playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, expressed his pride on social media, congratulating his son on the decision. The announcement comes amidst ongoing speculation about LeBron’s own future in the NBA, though he recently stated he plans to retire after his current contract.
Bryce’s older brother, Bronny, played one season at USC before suffering a cardiac arrest. He was later drafted by the Lakers, making history with LeBron as the league’s first father-son duo.
