Elite 2026 wing Tajh Ariza (St. John Bosco, CA / Team Why Not) has officially committed to Oregon, choosing the Ducks over USC in what was a highly anticipated recruiting battle. Ariza, the son of former NBA veteran Trevor Ariza, had attracted wide attention across the country for his blend of size, skill, and two-way potential.
At 6′9 with strong athleticism, Ariza brings positional versatility and upside to Eugene. He can score from all three levels, space the floor, and defend multiple wing spots — all traits that make him a natural fit in Oregon’s system. His commitment gives the Ducks a marquee piece for their 2026 class and bolsters their ability to compete in the Pac-12 and beyond.
