The Arizona Wildcats continue to stack talent in the 2025 class, and their latest addition is a big one. Brayden Burries, a 6-foot-4, 200-pound combo guard out of Roosevelt High School in Eastvale, California, announced his commitment to Arizona live on ESPN’s SportsCenter—choosing the Wildcats over Alabama, Oregon, Tennessee, and USC.
A consensus five-star prospect and one of the top overall players in the Class of 2025, Burries brings a polished, versatile game that should thrive in Tucson. Known for his long arms, elite feel, and natural pace, Burries can score from all three levels and has the ability to take over games without forcing the action.
“Arizona was the best fit for me and my family,” Burries told ESPN. “Coach [Tommy] Lloyd is a great guy. They have been recruiting me for a while. He allows his players to play both up and down, but they also execute within a structured framework. Everyone is held accountable. Their style of play is smart and aggressive.”
That balance of freedom and structure appears to be a major draw for top-tier talent—and Burries is just the latest to buy in.
Another Major Addition for Arizona’s 2025 Class
Burries joins a rapidly growing 2025 recruiting class that is shaping up to be one of the nation’s best. Just two weeks ago, Koa Peat, a fellow five-star forward and one of the most dominant frontcourt players in the country, also announced his commitment to Arizona on ESPN.
They’re joined by Dwayne Aristode, a high-upside wing with great length and athleticism, and Bryce James, the skilled sharpshooter and son of NBA superstar LeBron James.
With Burries now in the fold, Arizona’s backcourt of the future looks loaded. His ability to play on or off the ball gives the Wildcats a high-IQ, tough, and dynamic playmaker who can thrive in multiple roles—and he brings a winning mentality that aligns perfectly with the culture Tommy Lloyd continues to build in Tucson.
Final Word
With Brayden Burries’ commitment, Arizona has landed one of the most complete guards in the 2025 class. His decision further cements the Wildcats as a recruiting powerhouse, and if this class stays intact, expect Arizona to be right in the national title conversation for years to come.
