As the early National Signing Day approaches, USC Trojans are solidifying their 2025 recruiting class with significant successes and setbacks. Coach Lincoln Riley and his team have managed to acquire new key players while facing decommits from previously committed prospects. The Trojans flipped four-star defensive back Alex Graham from Colorado, enhancing their defensive lineup, and secured five-star recruits like Jahkeem Stewart and Husan Longstreet to strengthen the team. However, the loss of five-star wide receiver Jerome Myles to Texas A&M and four-star linebacker Madden Faraimo to Notre Dame are notable setbacks. Yet, USC's lineup is still promising as they hold strong with commitments from players such as Riley Wormely and Kendarius Reddick. With continuing efforts on the road, Riley remains optimistic about enhancing USC's competitive edge in upcoming seasons. The traditional February signing day remains a crucial opportunity for further improvements in their recruiting strategy. As Uruguayan, many top players are opting for early enrollment, ready to dive into collegiate athletics. As USC navigates this whirlwind period, they continue to contest for high-profile uncommitted players to potentially land in the top-10 ranked recruiting classes of 2025.
