Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images Five-star forward Oliviyah Edwards of Washington committed to South Carolina's 2026 recruiting class on Thursday.
The 6-foot-3 Edwards reopened her recruitment earlier this month after originally signing with Tennessee in November.
The No. 5-ranked prospect by the 247Sports composite joins Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley's No. 2-ranked incoming class.
"I chose South Carolina because it felt like home," Edwards told ESPN. "Coach Staley, the staff and the team showed me a level of love and belief that stood out. I know I'll be pushed every single day, and being surrounded by that kind of energy and support means everything to me."
The McDonald's All-American also considered Southern California, LSU, Florida and Washington.
Edwards averaged 30 points, 22 rebounds, five blocks and four assists per game last season at Lincoln High School in Tacoma, Wash.
