The decision#
Ikenna Alozie has committed to the University of Houston, selecting the Cougars over other recruitment interests. The 6-2 guard from Dream City Christian in Arizona made his decision during his recruitment cycle in the 2026 class.
Alozie's commitment adds depth to Houston's backcourt prospects. The guard brings size for the position at 6-2, a measurable that provides defensive versatility and the physical tools to defend multiple positions at the college level.
What it means for Houston#
Houston adds another guard prospect to its 2026 recruiting class with Alozie's commitment. The Cougars continue building their backcourt rotation through the high school ranks, securing a player who can contribute length and athleticism in the perimeter game.
Alozie's commitment reflects Houston's ongoing efforts to stock its guards rotation. The program's ability to attract high school talent from across the country—including from strong prep programs in Arizona—underscores its recruiting reach heading into the 2026 cycle.
What it means for Alozie#
Alozie will join Houston's program with the opportunity to develop his game at the college level. His combination of size and position gives him a foundation to build upon as a guard entering a high-major environment.
The Dream City Christian product has secured his college destination, allowing him to focus on his final high school seasons while preparing for the transition to NCAA basketball. Houston provides Alozie a platform to continue his development in a Power atmosphere.
