USC lands commitment from High Point transfer Kezza Giffa

High Point transfer guard Kezza Giffa has committed to USC, he told On3.

The 6-foot-2 senior and two-time All-Big South first team selection averaged 14.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game this season for the Panthers. He shot 44.0% from the field and 31.3% from three.

The 2024-25 season was his second year at High Point. In his first year with the program, Giffa put up slightly better numbers, averaging 16.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 2.9 assists. He also shot better from three, at a 34% rate.

Giffa, a native of Paris, began his college career at UTEP in 2021-22, but received little playing time, averaging just 0.6 points per game. He did not play during the 2022-23 season.

Giffa is USC’s ninth addition via the tranfser portal this offseason. He joins UNC Acheville PG transfer Jordan Marsh, Auburn SF transfer Chad Baker-Mazara, Maryland SG transfer Rodney Rice, Utah PF transfer Ezra Ausar, Youngstown State transfer C Gabe Dynes, Samford transfer PF Jaden Brownell, Robert Morris transfer SF Amarion Dickerson, and Virginia transfer PF Jacob Cofie.

The Trojans will also bring in two freshmen — five-star SG Alijah Arenas and four-star CG Jerry Easter.

Eric Musselman’s squad ranks No. 6 overall in the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings.

USC finished with an overall record of 17-18 this past season and 12th in the Big Ten in Musselman’s first year at the helm.
