5-star prospect Collins picks USC over Louisville, Kentucky

Five-star recruit Christian Collins committed to USC over Louisville and Kentucky on Wednesday.

The 6-foot-8 forward is the No. 5-ranked prospect in the 2026 class.

Collins, who comes from St. John Bosco High School in California, joins highly touted twins Adonis and Darius Ratliff as commits for the Trojans in this cycle. All three are McDonald's All-Americans.

"I want to go where I can help a team win," Collins told ESPN's Paul Biancardi.

USC and coach Eric Musselman landed five-star guard Alijah Arenas in 2025. He's the son of three-time NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas.
