Former Auburn guard/forward Chad Baker-Mazara announced Monday that he has committed to Southern Cal for the 2025-26 season.

Baker-Mazara, 25, made the announcement in a post to X.

Baker-Mazara spent two seasons at Auburn and was a key component on the Tigers' Final Four team this past season.

Baker-Mazara is benefiting from a temporary waiver allowing athletes who played a year outside the NCAA -- in Baker-Mazara's case, junior college -- to have an additional season of NCAA eligibility.

He played one season apiece at Duquesne and San Diego State before spending 2022-23 at Northwest Florida State. In his 119 career games at the Division I level, he has averaged 9.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals per game.

His best season was 2024-25, when he started 34 of 38 games for the Tigers and put up 12.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game.
