Michigan transfer forward Terrance Williams II commits to USC

Michigan transfer forward Terrance Williams II has committed to USC, confirming his commitment with a graphic he posted to Instagram.

Williams heads to Los Angeles after spending the past four seasons with the Wolverines, departing from the program following the firing of head coach Juwan Howard and joining forces with new Trojans head coach Eric Musselman. He declared for the NBA Draft in the process of entering the NCAA transfer portal on April 4, now withdrawing his name to retain eligibility for his final college season.

Williams played high school basketball at Gonzaga in Washington D.C. where hw was a four-star recruit. Ranked the No. 1 player in Washington D.C. and the No. 88-rated player overall in the nation for the 2020 class, according to the On3 Industry Rating, a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services.

Throughout his Michigan career Williams showed steady improvement, increasing his scoring total every single season which culminated into his best season to date least year. Averaging a career-high 12.4 points per game along with 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. Scoring in double figures in 24 games and leading the team in scoring for five contests in what was a disappointing season in Ann Arbor.

Williams was also a team captain, and will bring plenty of leadership, size, and experience with him to the USC program. A 6-foot-7 versatile forward who’s played in 115 games and made 58 starts throughout his career and scored 767 points, grabbed 445 rebounds, and assisted on 96 baskets during his time with the Wolverines. Shooting a career 43.3% from the field, 74.3% from the free throw line, and a career-best 39.7% from behind the three-point line last season.

With Williams commitment, Musselman has landed the eighth player through the transfer portal this offseason ahead of his first season at the helm. Joining big time additions like former Boise State forward Chibuzo Agbo Jr., Northern Colorado‘s Saint Thomas, and Ivy League additions like Matt Knowling and Clark Slajchert.
