USC basketball lands commitment from elite Harvard-Westlake combo guard
USC basketball and head coach Andy Enfield won another major battle on the recruiting trail Friday night.
Trent Perry, a standout combo guard from Studio City (Calif.) Harvard-Westlake, announced his commitment to the Trojans during his team’s game at the Border League. The 4-star 2024 prospect picked the Trojans over a final six that included Stanford, Gonzaga, Oregon, Colorado, and TCU.

“It’s close to home and the coaches really believe in me and my game,” Perry told ESPN. “The competition inside the Big Ten is going to be great. I love that challenge. I believe USC cannot only make me be a better player, but person, as well. I look forward to connecting with my teammates and someday with their great alumni.”
He took an official visit to USC back in May. Perry also had official visits to Oregon, Colorado, Stanford, and Saint Mary’s.
He’s a 6-foot-4, 175-pound guard who can play with or without the ball. In the industry-generated 247 Composite, Perry is ranked as the No. 55 overall recruit in the class and the No. 8 combo guard.
In 23 games with Vegas Elite on the Nike EYBL circuit last spring and summer, Perry averaged 12.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 4.1 assists. He was also impressive at the Nike Peach Jam in July.
Perry becomes the second known commitment in the 2024 class for USC, joining 4-star guard Liam Campbell. You can see some of Perry’s tape below:
