LeBron James’ youngest son Bryce gets Ohio State offer after visit

Another of LeBron James’ sons is at least considering playing college basketball in his father’s home state.

Bryce James, LeBron’s youngest son, made an unofficial visit this weekend to Ohio State, attending the Buckeyes’ football victory Saturday over Maryland.

The 16-year-old James spoke with Ohio State basketball coach Chris Holtmann at the game, according to social media posts, and he wrote on social media that he received an offer from the school.

The 6-6 small forward is listed as a four-star recruit in the class of 2025, according to ESPN.

Over the summer, Bryce James transferred to Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, Calif. from Campbell Hall School in the Studio City section of Los Angeles.

His older brother Bronny also considered Ohio State last year before signing with USC in the spring.

Bronny suffered cardiac arrest while participating in a team workout in July, but LeBron James said earlier this week that his 18-year-old son hopes to play for the Trojans this season.

“Bronny’s doing extremely well,” the NBA’s all-time leading scorer said at Lakers media day. “He’s began his rehab process to get back on the floor this season with his teammates and USC.

“[After] the successful surgery that he had … he’s on the up and up. It’s definitely a whirlwind and a lot of emotions for our family this summer, but the best thing we have is each other.”
