Stepinac Basketball Prospect Josh Rivera Commits to USC

Josh Rivera, a senior at Archbishop Stepinac High School, committed Wednesday to play basketball for the University of Southern California. The 6-foot-5 small forward chose the Los Angeles university over offers from Hofstra University and the University of Massachusetts.

Rivera is ranked 87th on the ESPN Sportscenter NEXT 2027 Top 100. If he joins the Trojans next fall, he will play alongside former Stepinac teammates Adonis and Darius Ratliff. The Ratliff brothers are 6-foot-11 and were McDonald’s All-Americans last season. This marks the second year in a row that a top prospect from the White Plains high school has signed with USC.
