Trent Frazier has committed to Illinois.

Numerous Twitter accounts, including his high school coach Matthew Colin, confirmed the commitment.

The 6-foot-2, 170-pound guard from West Palm Beach, Florida, made his decision during his official visit in Champaign.

Frazier, a four-star recruit, is ranked as the 20th point guard in the nation, according to 247sports.com. The site ranks him No. 8 in Florida.

Frazier selected Illinois over schools such as Baylor, Kansas State, Memphis and Stephen F. Austin.

Two scholarships remain for the class of 2017.
