Phoenix Xavier Prep’s Khalia Lanier, one of the nation’s most powerful outside hitters in volleyball, has two seasons left in her prep career, but the junior-to-be already has a college commitment.

According to azcentral.com’s Richard Obert, Lanier will play for USC after considering a number of other schools, including Stanford and Texas.

The 6-foot-2 Lanier led Xavier to the Division I state title last season, including an upset of powerful Phoenix Horizon in the semifinals. She is the daughter of long-time NBA star Bob Lanier.
