Bryce James is a four-star recruit of the 2025 class, but his lineage makes him a valuable player for many colleges. He plays small forward and left Sierra Canyon High School to attend Campbell Hall School, but he moved again to Notre Dame High School last month.
The 16-year-old prospect's visit to Ohio State comes just about a year after his older brother Bronny James came into the university with their father LeBron James. Bronny was also snapped wearing a Buckeyes jersey, and there were rumors that he could be joining them.
However, the elder James offspring chose to stay close to home in California and join the USC Trojans. He's still in recovery after suffering a cardiac arrest a couple of months ago. He's expected to continue his basketball career, with the entire James family supporting him.
