Paras originally committed to UCLA but had academic deficiencies according to the school's admission's department, despite passing the NCAA eligibility requirement.
The son of PBA legend Benjie Paras previously committed himself to UCLA after he was recruited by the university's program in 2014 while playing for the LA Cathedral.
But UCLA, which has produced NBA stars like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Reggie Miller, Zach LaVine and Kevin Love, announced in June that the young Paras has pulled out from the program.
A three-star recruit according to Rivals and ESPN, Paras played for Cathedral High School and the Compton Magic AAU team.
Creighton last made the NCAA Tournament in 2014. Among their alumni who have made it to the NBA are Kyle Korver of the Atlanta Hawks, Doug McDermott of the Chicago Bulls, and Anthony Tolliver of the Sacramento Kings.
The Blue Jays, who play in the Big East, open their 2016-2017 campaign on November 4 against Wayne State.
