4-star SG Elzie Harrington decommits from USC

Elzie Harrington, a four-star shooting guard in the 2025 class who committed to USC in December, has now backed off that pledge, according to On3’s Joe Tipton.

Harrington, who at one time was committed to Harvard, flipped to the Trojans just before the New Year, but never signed with them. He’ll now become one of the top available players in the senior class.

The 6’5 scorer out of St. John Bosco (Calif.) is coming off a season where he averaged 16.4 points, 5.1 assists and 3.4 rebounds per contest for the Braves.

According to the On3 Industry Ranking, Harrington is the No. 61 overall prospect in the 2025 cycle. He’s also the No. 18 shooting guard prospect. The On3 Industry Ranking is a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Harrington Scouting Report

On3 National Recruiting Analyst Jamie Shaw writes this about him as a prospect:

“The intriguing part of Elzie Harrington’s game is the ability to score. He has positional size that goes along with his handle to get to spots in the half-court. He has a smooth jump shot and consistent release. While Harrington’s path has been fluid, he is playing some good basketball heading into his senior season, and his positional size with the ability to create and score it are hard to ignore.

… He has a good frame with nice length and positional size. He is comfortable on the ball and able to get the ball to its spots in the half court. Listed in the 6-5 range, Harrington plays with a good pace, he rarely gets rushed. He finishes through contact at the rim and can knock down a spot three on ball reversals. Comfortable as a secondary ball handler. Harrington lack blow-by burst on the ball. He has upside as an off ball defender using positioning to cut down angles. He is a high floor type prospect.”
