Olympia High boys basketball player Kameren Wright announced his commitment via his social media accounts that he will continue his playing career at the University of South Florida.

Wright, a 6-foot-6 wing and four-star prospect, transferred to Olympia for his senior season from The Rock School in Gainesville and instantly became a major factor for the Titans.

In 29 games, he averaged 16.2 points — a team-high — 4.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.2 steals. His output helped guide the Titans to a 20-9 record and an appearance in the Class 7A, Region 2 championship game.
