COLUMBIA, S.C. — Another big name in-state player will stay home to play for Lamont Paris at South Carolina.
Midlands native Collin Murray-Boyles announced his commitment to USC Sunday, becoming the first commit for USC’s 2023 recruiting class.
Murray-Boyles also had offers from SMU, Jacksonville, Wofford, Coastal Carolina, and North Carolina A&T, among others.
He becomes the second local product to commit to South Carolina, joining Ridge View star G.G. Jackson, who reclassified and signed last month.
A 6-foot-7 forward, Murray-Boyles played his first three years at A.C. Flora and will play his senior season at Wasatch Academy in Utah.
Last season, Murray-Boyles was a major contributor for a Falcon squad that reached the Class 4A State Title game. He averaged 18.3 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 5.3 blocks per game, earning Class 4A Player of the Year honors.
