Tajh Ariza: From NBA Legacy to Elite Prospect and Oregon Commit

The jump from Los Angeles to Branson, Missouri, was significant for Tajh Ariza. Link Academy sits in a small town, far from the environment the son of NBA champion Trevor Ariza grew up in. But the school produces Division One talent, and that is why Ariza made the move.

At 6-foot-9, Ariza defends multiple positions and handles the ball effectively for his size. Ranked in the top 20 of the 2026 class, he signed with Oregon. His father's 18-year NBA career provides a roadmap, and Link Academy is helping him follow it.
