Bronny will graduate from Sierra Canyon High School in 2023. However, due to NBA rules, he will be able to play in the league only after one season as a freshman. Mock drafts often favor Bronny, placing him in the top 20 for the 2024 season.
Which School Did LeBron James’ Son Bronny James attend?
As of now, Bronny James is attending Sierra Canyon High School. He has also attended the Crossroads School for Arts & Sciences in California and the Old Trail School in Ohio. Along with Bronny, his brother Bryce also attends the same high school.
Which university is Bronny James planning to attend?
With the way Bronny is playing in high school, many colleges are expected to recruit him. Bronny has not yet named any college by himself, and many reports have only come up with possible institutes he could play for. Though many options might be available, the young player might already have a few options laid out.
Having said that, Duke, University of Tennessee, and Ohio State are among colleges Bronny reportedly wants to play for. Duke is one of the popular Division I places, which might be an obvious option for Bronny.
However, 247 Sports’ Eric Bossi spoke about Bronny playing college, and what university the 17-year-old might want to choose. “He’s still basically off limits to the media and hasn’t put out a school list, but some of the teams that he is believed to have interest in include Duke, Ohio State, Tennessee and Texas among others,” Bossi said.
Ohio State, like Duke and the University of Tennessee, is an obvious option. If James had attended college, the 37-year-old NBA icon might have played in Ohio.
