Silas Demary Jr. Commits To USC, Boosting Trojans' 2026 Recruiting Class

Four-star guard Silas Demary Jr. announced his commitment to USC on Friday, giving the Trojans a major boost for their 2026 recruiting class. The 6'4" standout from Raleigh, North Carolina, chose USC over offers from North Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia.

Demary's decision is trending as one of the most significant basketball commitments this spring. His versatility as a combo guard and defensive intensity make him a prized addition for head coach Andy Enfield. The Trojans are rebuilding after losing key players to the NBA draft and transfers.

Ranked No. 32 nationally by 247Sports, Demary averaged 18.7 points and 5.3 assists last season at Word of God Christian Academy. His commitment signals USC's growing appeal under Enfield, who has now landed three top-50 recruits for 2026.

Fans reacted strongly on social media, with many calling Demary a "program-changing" pickup. The Trojans finished 22-11 last season but missed the NCAA tournament. Demary's arrival could help them return to March Madness contention.

USC's 2026 class now ranks in the top 10 nationally. Demary joins five-star forward AJ Dybantsa and four-star center Brayden Burries in a loaded incoming group. The Trojans open their 2026-27 season against UCLA on November 15.
