Kiyan Anthony, son of NBA legend Carmelo Anthony, is set to have an official visit with Rutgers.

Anthony told Dushawn London of 247Sports he will travel to Rutgers on Oct. 4 and 5.

The 17-year-old Anthony recently said on his YouTube show (starts at :50 mark) he is considering his father's alma mater, Syracuse, after they extended him a scholarship offer two years ago.

Rutgers and Syracuse were among the top six schools Anthony listed in July. Auburn, Florida State, Ohio State and USC are the other finalists.

Head coach Steve Pikiell and his staff are doing a terrific job in recruiting elite prospects to the program. The Scarlet Knights currently have the fourth-ranked class by 247Sports in the 2024 cycle, led by 5-star recruits Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper.

Anthony is a 4-star prospect and No. 28 overall player in the 2025 class, per 247Sports' composite rankings. He is listed at 6'5" and 185 pounds going into his senior season at Long Island Lutheran High School.

Eric Bossi of 247Sports noted Anthony is a "long and rangy two guard who, no surprise, is wired to score and to do so in bunches."

That scouting report is very similar to what his father did during his basketball career. Carmelo Anthony ranks 10th all-time in NBA history with 28,289 points during his 19-year career.

Prior to being the No. 3 pick in the 2003 NBA draft, Anthony was an All-American selection as a freshman at Syracuse in 2002-03. He led the Orange in scoring with 22.2 points per game en route to helping them win the first national title in program history.

Rutgers has only made the NCAA tournament twice since the 1991-92 season. The appearances came in back-to-back years in 2020-21 and 2021-22.
