Hopkins senior big man Zeke Nnaji committed Friday afternoon to play college basketball at Arizona.

Nnaji, a 6-foot-11 four-star prospect, made the announcement at his high school in a ceremony in front of friends and family.

The college basketball early signing period ended Wednesday, so Nnaji decided not to ink a letter of intent.

He chose the Wildcats over Kansas, UCLA, Purdue, Baylor and North Carolina.
