Los Alamitos (Calif.) four-star defensive lineman T.A. Cunningham will be making a visit this weekend to USC, he announced on Twitter.

It has been a hectic fall for Cunningham, who moved to California this summer and was only recently ruled eligible for the 2022 season.

Cunningham is the No. 20 overall recruit in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the top-ranked prospect from the state of California in the 2024 On300 ranking.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $125k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

The 2024 Trojans recruiting class has four commits: Calabasas (Calif.) four-star cornerback Aaron Butler, Long Beach Poly(Long Beach (Calif.) four-star linebacker Dylan Williams, Lake Oswego (Ore.) Lakeridge four-star tight end Joey Olsen and Houston Long Beach Poly four-star wide receiver Jason Robinson.
