April 16, 2019 | Men's Basketball, Features
Graduate transfer wing Daniel Utomi has signed to play his final season of eligibility at USC for the 2019-20 season, it was announced by USC men's basketball head coach Andy Enfield today (April 16). Utomi is expected to graduate from Akron this spring with a degree in Sports Management.
The 6-6, 225-pound wing Utomi played in all 33 games for Akron during the 2018-19 season, starting 32, and averaging a team-leading 14.2 points. He also averaged 5.5 rebounds and made a team-leading 93 three-point baskets, making 37.3 percent from beyond the arc. The Houston, Texas native was named All-Mid-American Conference honorable mention for the 2018-19 season.
Utomi averaged 15.5 points and 5.4 rebounds over the last two seasons for Akron. He has also made 181 three-point baskets, hitting at a 38.8 clip from beyond the arc. Utomi scored 1,133 points and made 207 three-point baskets in 96 career games at Akron.
Utomi graduated from Westside High School in Houston, Texas in 2015.
Utomi will join fellow graduate transfer Quinton Adlesh who signed with USC on April 1 and they will join USC's previously announced recruiting class of 2019 McDonald's All-American forward Isaiah Mobley, 2018 California "Mr. Basketball" and 2019 L.A. Times Player of the Year forward Onyeka Okongwu, All-Southern California forward Max Agbonkpolo and All-Georgia Region 7 guard and All-State honorable mention Kyle Sturdivant. In addition, USC is expected to have the services of Drake London, a USC football signee, who along with Mobley and Okongwu were named to the 10-man Los Angles All-Area men's high school basketball team.
USC's incoming class is a consensus top five group and USC has now had six consecutive top 30 classes under Enfield.
