Bryce James, the son of four-time NBA champion LeBron James, will follow in his elder brother and former USC Trojans guard Bronny James' footsteps as he starts his collegiate career with the Arizona Wildcats next season, signing for head coach Tommy Lloyd's team on Jan. 1.

The 6-foot-5 shooting guard completed his high school basketball career at Sierra Canyon in Chatsworth and shared a picture with his former teammates, including Cal State Fullerton commit Bryce Cofield, Iona Gaels commit Gavin Hightower and Long Beach State commit Jayden Alexander, among others:

"Seniors last day," James captioned his story with a teary eyed emoji and tagged his teammates.

Bryce, who's ranked at the 209th spot nationally, 57th in the shooting guard position and 27th in California, played a key role in his senior year to lead the Trailblazers to a 27-7 overall record.

They also finished with a 6-1 record in the California Southern Section Mission Basketball League. However, they lost to Notre Dame Sherman Oaks, led by the No. 1 recruit in the 2026 Class, Tyran Stokes, in the semifinals in February.

In the 2025 CIF State Boys Basketball Championships, the Trailblazers beat Centennial 73-48 in the first round on March 4 before a 78-45 victory against Santa Barbara in the second round on March 6.

In the regional semifinals on March 11, they secured a tight 68-64 win against JSerra Catholic to move to the regional finals. The Trailblazers then beat Redondo Union 74-68 before lifting the state championship with a 58-53 win over Lincoln on March 14.
