Class of 2026 combo guard Isaac Ellis has committed to South Carolina, he told On3’s Joe Tipton on Thursday.

Ellis, a rising senior at Moravian Prep (NC), is the younger brother of four-star shooting guard and South Carolina incoming freshman Eli Ellis. Hayden Assemian and Abu Yarmah, who also played with the Ellis brothers at Moravian Prep, will be joining the Gamecocks as freshmen this upcoming season.

In the Overtime Elite league, the younger Ellis brother averaged 14.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game as a junior this past season. He helped the YNG Dreamerz defeat the City Reapers in a best-of-five series to win the OTE Championship.

Ellis is unranked nationally, but is considered a three-star prospect by On3. In addition to South Carolina, he had offers from Oklahoma State, Murray State, Indiana State, UMass, Radford, High Point and others.

Ellis is the first player to commit to head coach Lamont Paris in the Gamecocks’ 2026 recruiting class.
