The No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2019 is on the move.

Kayvon Thibodeaux announced Friday afternoon that he's transferring from Dorsey (Los Angeles) to Oaks Christian (Westlake Village) via Twitter.

USC is considered the early leader for Thibodeaux's services but he has nearly 30 offers, including Alabama, Florida State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Oklahoma and Texas.

Thibodeaux played basketball this winter, averaging 4.2 points per game for the 24-win Dons.

Oaks Christian is coming off an 8-3 season. The program won 10 or more games for eight consecutive seasons between 2004 and 2012.
