"We are very excited to welcome Onyeka to the Trojan family," head coach Eric Musselman said, per USC Athletics. "Onyeka fits our culture of energy, effort and enthusiasm. He is a player who will bring physicality, athleticism and competitiveness to our program. Onyeka will be a great addition to our frontcourt, providing experience, rim-finishing, rebounding and defensive impact."

Agu has played two seasons with the Brussels Basketball club in the BNXT League. This season, he averaged 7.3 points and 5.7 rebounds in 18 games. In November, he was named the BNXT Young Player of the Month after averaging 10.3 points with 66.6% shooting, six rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game.

USC Has Most International Players on Roster in Musselman's Career

Agu is the third international player to join USC's roster this season, which is the most Musselman has had on a roster in his collegiate coaching career.

USC has just three returners going into the 2026-27 season. With seven new transfers and ESPN's No. 5 recruiting class, the Trojans will look to make it to the NCAA Tournament for the first time under Musselman next season.
