LeBron James reacted via Instagram Wednesday to his son Bryce’s college announcement.

Bryce James announced Wednesday that he will be playing at Arizona in college. LeBron shared a photo that showed Bryce in an Arizona uniform next to Wildcats coach Tommy Lloyd.

In his Instagram post, LeBron shared the Arizona “bear down” chant.

“CONGRATULATIONS MAXIMUS!! SO PROUD OF YOU!!!” James wrote, while sharing multiple emojis on his post.

Bryce is a senior at Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth, Calif. He is listed by 247Sports as a 3-star recruit and was considering Duquesne, Ohio State and USC, in addition to Arizona.

Bryce’s older brother Bronny went to USC but only stayed one season before leaving for the NBA draft. It remains to be seen whether Bryce will follow a similar 1-and-done path in college.

Bryce is a 6-foot-5 guard and part of the 2025 class, meaning he will be set to head to college in the fall.
